| 30 Laurie Morvan Band7:00 pm Blues $Ticketmaster cover Laurie Morvan BandMarch 30 @ 7:00 pm http://www.lauriemorvan.com/news.asp “L.A.’s Laurie Morvan is a member of that still all-too-rare club of female lead blues guitarists. On her third release, Morvan shows strong chops on guitar and a good ear for writing accessible songs. The overall result is an easy-to-listen-to blues-rock hybrid, not so different from what better-known artists such as Robert Cray and Bonnie Raitt have been creating for the last few decades. While Morvan credits Stevie Ray Vaughan as a specific influence, her playing is far more reminiscent of former Roomful of Blues guitarist Ronnie Earl. It’s got that Texas twang but with a jazz musician’s restraint and even elegance. She’s far more interested in playing well than in playing fast. As a singer, Morvan sounds a lot like Louisiana swamp blues singer Marcia Ball. She doesn’t show much range here, but has a nice growl and warm tones. And for someone who lives in SoCal and grew up in Illinois, she’s sure got a drawl to her singing. | 31 Daring Greatly8:00 pm Rock $15 cover Daring GreatlyMarch 31 @ 8:00 pm Daring Greatly — Band (daring-greatly.com) Since emerging on the scene in 2014, Daring Greatly has made a name for themselves as one of the most accomplished and dynamic bands to come out of Calgary, AB.
