Check it out tonight: Mike Wexler
Mike Wexler does the standard freak folk/ psychfolk thing, but what really sets him apart from everyone else in the scene is his amazing finger picking guitar work. His voice is lovely, in the way that Joanna Newsom and Tom Waits’ voices are lovely; if you dig it, you’ll be in heaven, and if you don’t, it’ll sound like fingernails on a chalkboard. He’s been MIA recently, but is returning with several shows in February and March. If you like M. Ward and Doveman, Wexler is definitely worth checking out.
The show is tonight at Uncle Paulies, 8pm, $8, with MV & EE with the Bummer Road, Stars Like Fleas, and Theo Angell. Directions at http://myspace.com/unclepauliesnyc.
