Fiddlehead, No Pressure, On Being an Angel [outside]
Truly putting the “post” in “post-hardcore,” this grown-ass Boston supergroup (led by former Have Heart frontman and current history teacher Patrick Flynn) are the best argument since Fugazi that punk passion need not dim with time. Fiddlehead’s chest-thumping emo anthems derive an unparalleled vitality by leaning into the band’s age and experience. When Flynn leverages his distance from teenage follies and heartbreaks, he isolates the improbable, life-affirming persistence of youthful feeling. And should you care at all what I think, last year’s Between The Richness was 2021’s best album in any genre. Pull up early for fuzz-box dream-folk from local openers On Being an Angel.Sat., July 9, 8pm -

Chris Beall Band, Albert Lee (7:00)
Even if English Romani picker Albert Lee hadn’t cut A Long Way from Lubbock with the Crickets in 1974, he still deserves a big bronze star on any Lone Star Walk of Fame. Raised in London, the future Mr. Telecaster began mastering guitar a decade-and-a-half earlier through the same muse as incoming Beatles and Stones: our Panhandle shooting star, Buddy Holly. The gentlemanly, countryfied Clapton thus employed his fingerstyle technique to Americana luminaries including the Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris, Nanci Griffith. Now 78, the Grammy-winning string bender pulls into Saxon’s intimate roadhouse for a history lesson.Sat., July 9 -
