CALENDAR It is entirely fair to compare Omaha native Simon Joyner to songwriting giants like Townes Van Zant and Bob Dylan. Joyner writes intense, personal songs and reaches for notes on the edge his vocal range without much concern for whether he hits them. His characters are weary, lonely and wry. The music is off-kilter. What’s important when he wails “I won’t go to your funeral, Sue, but I got a couch if you ever need a place to crash” in "Nostalgia Blues" is that the listener understands why he says this and feels the same way. Perfect scales and precise strumming would only get in the way here. Simon Joyner and David Nance play an undisclosed Eugene living room this Sunday, Oct. 16, at 7:30 pm.
