Nope, the Austin-based singer-songwriter is in town to jolt audiences at Cozmic and the Axe and Fiddle with the seemingly bottomless songbook he’s created in Accidental Thief and six previous albums, which vary in tone from the happily self-depricating “King of the Losers” to the fast-paced and perfectly nostalgic “All I Know.” A recipe for Matt Sever’s music might look something like this: Take one part William Fitzsimmons’ softness and clarity and one part Paul Simon’s lyrical style, then add just a dash of the Avett Brothers’ energy and a lot of their folk sensibility. Matt the Electrician plays Cozmic at 8:30pm Tuesday, Sept. 11, and the Axe and Fiddle at 8:30pm Wednesday, Sept. 12. 12 SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 EUGENE WEEKLY GATHERINGS Rods ‘n’ Rhodies Car Show, vintage autos 1972 & older, today, tomorrow & Sunday, Florence Old Town Market, www. fl orencechamber.com for info. 24th Annual People’s Choice Awards, 11:50am-1:30pm, Eugene Hilton, 12th Floor Vistas Ballroom, 66 E. 6th Ave. Kesey Square Revival: Creating vi- brant public space downtown that focuses on community inclusion, art vendors welcome, noon-5pm, Kesey Square.
