mewithoutYou bassist Greg Jehanian takes center stage as Geology, an acoustically driven side project comprised of twangy banjo, crisp chords, and prolific lines. Recently seen rocking out as a member of Sleezer, this local troubadour proved the breadth of his repertoire with the late summer release of his Three Birds EP. Humming with undertones of Americana, Jehanian’s lyrical prose brings to mind holy texts and the Great Grey Poet, giving songs like “Not That of the Sun” and the uplifting “Living Things” a depth that is felt as well as heard. Less passive than Sufjan Stevens, Geology’s sound is rooted in honest vocals and heart-stirring refrains like those found in “It’s Alright!” and “For Us Who Are So Small”. Unfortunately his live sets as Geology are few and far between, making this JB’s performance a definite rarity. He’ll be sharing the stage with Mitch Fiction and Ducarriganigan (featuring Matisyahu’s guitarist Aaron Dugan and Jason Fraticelli on bass). Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N.
