An Intimate Night of Leading Men at The Fire Aug. 30

Tonight, The Fire offers you the opportunity to catch a couple of leading men from rising local acts on their own. Commonwealth Choir appears to be a group that has caught people’s attention from the gate. The Doylestown natives deliver clean, catchy indie rock and frontman Jameson Davis Howley will be doing a solo thing this evening. Hopefully he’ll break out a few songs off their much-anticipated debut EP. As we await the release of Toy Soldiers new album The Maybe Boys, Ron Gallo brings his customary impassioned music, a melting pot of roots rock revival that casts shades of folk, blues, country and soul. Isn’t that just called rock ‘n’ roll? Fitting quite naturally on this bill is Michigan transplant Jeremy Quentin, a.k.a. Small Houses, who performs folky Americana that delivers through thoughtful lyrics and wistful melodies. The Fire 412 W. Girard Ave., 9pm., $8, 21+ – Michael Colavita
