Multi-platinum alt-pop trio Echosmith is currently on tour in support of their sophomore album Lonely Generation. The siblings will stop by the Fine Line on Friday, February 21st.
The last time we saw them in July 2018, we said, “Echosmith – aka the Sierota siblings- Sydney (vocals, keys), Noah (bass) and Graham (cajon) along with new guitarist Jacob Evergreen- took to the stage for their half-hour stripped down set of songs. While we still all await their second full-length to be released, the group has released some new music including recent EP, Inside a Dream (Warner Bros Records). “This is a really cool version of an acoustic set” singer Sydney began, looking out at the tables filled with people taking the late afternoon off, and the numerous boats docked along the horizon behind the grounds, before starting with ‘Let’s Love’.”
Opening bands are
Weathers and Jayden Bartels. We previously saw Weathers in Oct 2016 and noted, “Opening the show was Los Angeles’ Weathers with a brief 30-minute set. The indie-pop band currently only has two songs available for purchase (‘Happy Pills’ and ‘I Don’t Wanna Know’), which, of course, they played to the crowd. The rest of the titles on their setlist, which I’ve compiled, may or may not be the actual title once they release them.”

CHICAGO FARMER & THE FIELDNOTES
+ Ryan Acker
Turf Club
Fri 02/21/2020 (8pm/$12)
turfclub.net
Chicago Farmer (billed as Chicago Farmer and The Fieldnotes) will be at the Turf Club on Feb 21st, as part of his album release tour.
The last time we saw Cody Diekhoff (aka Chicago Farmer) in April 2019, we said, ““My goodness, I think this is the most people I’ve ever played to, indoors” said a beaming Diekhoff, mentioning he and Parr often had played locally in January and February, thinking this April date would be more Spring-like (but ten to twelve inches of fresh snow had just fallen). Like an Arlo Guthrie or Jack Elliott, the songs were mostly people stories set to music, from the baseball players in ‘Dirtiest Uniforms’ to recounting hitting a deer in ‘Deer in the Sky’, and a gift from his grandmother with ‘The Twenty Dollar Bill’. Peppered with humorous comments of financial struggle like “you know times are tough if you’ve got a fraction in your address” and “I was living in tiny houses before they were cool”, made for a compelling forty-minute opening set.”
Ryan Acker (of The Last Revel) will open.
