Tara Stonecipher & The Tall Grass isn’t
a band with lighthearted content. Remember
the handful of sad songs that got you through
your last breakup? You know, the songs that
spoke to you and made you feel better even
though they were sad — because they were so
well-made and painfully honest? That’s the
kind of music this local fi ve-piece band creates.
A mix of alternative, country and folk
genres, Tara Stonecipher and The Tall Grass
has the uncanny ability to translate its
heartbreaking, introspective content into a
live-show format. So bring a box of Kleenex
and prepare to be serenaded by guitar, bass,
cello, drums, washboard and Stonecipher’s
emotive vocals.
On a more cheerful note, The Kid And
Nic Show, a duo known for its self-ascribed
theme song “Nothin’ But A Good Time,” will be
back in Springfi eld at the V.F.W. At this show,
the V.F.W. will be sponsoring The Lane Country
Food Drive, so make sure to bring a can of non-
perishable food when on your way to enjoy the
band. The Kid And Nic Show creates top-notch
bluesy swing music, and has proven through
the years that a couple who tours together,
stays together.
Tara Stonecipher and The Tall Grass play
8 pm Sunday, June 24, at Cozmic; $8. The Kid
And Nick Show plays 7 pm Tuesday, June 26,
at the Springfi eld V.F.W.; don.
