This Friday the headliners include AKRON/FAMILYPEAKING LIGHTSalong with an extremely rare Los Angeles appearance and performance by Lonnie Holley.  Holley has been making music for some 30 years.  “He sings with an intense, emotional voice and unleashes lyrics without consistent meter or rhyme over gossamer keyboard lines that hang in the ether. His music is a blues nebula, splotched with riffy word jazz that shares in some rappers’ collagist aesthetics as well as the runaway passion of a gospel preacher enlivened by the Spirit.  Just Before Music is aptly titled since Holley restrains himself from too much conventional musicality—melody and that sort of thing. (aquariumdrunkard.com).”  The 63-year-old artist and musician’s upcoming second album, Keeping a Record of It, will be released September 3 via the Dust to Digital label. The album also features contributions from Bradford Cox and Cole Alexander of Black Lips.
