I am thrilled to be bringing one of my absolute favorite bands, Lewis & Clarke to the Sugar Maple in Bay View along with my friends at 91.7 WMSE. Two of their records, Bare Bones & Branches (2005) and Blasts of Holy Birth (2007) made our year-end list of favorites from their respective years. Stereogum got it right in describing “Petrified Forest” (download below) calling it, “hypnotic mountain folk, setting reedy vocals against spare and elegant guitars, gradually swooning into a near seven-minute piece full of strings and woodsy imagery.”
On top of that, the label run by Lewis & Clarke mastermind Lou Rogai is responsible for delivering Strand of Oaks to all of our ears. The show will be good times in intimate confines. We’re excited and hope you are too!

I still regret missing them at The Annex over a year ago. Going to miss this one too.
