Where can you go in the city to escape into the woods? Well, yes, Bartram’s Gardens or the Wissahickon Trail. But where in the local music scene? The answer is Heyward Howkins. His songs take you to some pine forested area, with fields passing by in a rearview mirror. Howkins released his debut LP The Hale and Hearty earlier this summer which is filled with captivating, well-crafted folk tunes. He’ll be on the bill at Kung Fu Necktie tonight along with another local Resistor (a.k.a. Steve Goldberg). Where Heyward takes you on a trip in the woods, Resistor helps you stumble upon the future in a clearing with his synthpop sounds. Young Man, Chicago-based artist Colin Caulfield and sort of a cross between the other two acts’ sounds, will also headline the evening. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7:30pm, $10, 21+ – Maura Filoromo
