Amy Godwin

If you need a dose of live music to take the edge off this dreary Monday, there are two shows this evening particularly worthy of your time.

Along with Drag City psych-folk duoNew Bums (read our feature on that band here), the openers include Atlanta-based songstress Amy Godwin, whose ghostly, loop-based ukelele-and-voice compositions offer a more earthy local counterpoint to artists like Julianna Barwick.
