Local Music Showcase – Multiple Artists!!!

Every other week, the Local Music Showcase brings you a triple-bill, featuring a sampling of some of the area’s most clever and creative artists. This time, you’ll get to check out the work of Bob Havens, Josh Allen, and LJ Lascari. For more information…

Bob Havens – One of the more seriously-schooled musicians we have in the area, Bob is a regular on the open-mic circuit here in Bratt. Playing covers ranging from rock, to Americana, to country, and hybrids of all-of-the-above – classics all – Bob strums the guitar to create a solid and steady backing for his well-trained voice. His set is guaranteed to surprise and please.

Josh Allen – got his start as a singer/songwriter, strumming an acoustic guitar. He spent much of the last two decades living and playing around Austin, TX, with his Whisky Brothers Band. He is Brattleboro’s most recent transplant from that very musical city, having made the move in just the last couple months. His influences include Mississippi John Hurt, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, and Tom Waits, and his music – half poetry, and half blues – is gritty and soulful.

LJ Lascari – is a singer songwriter from South Texas, who relocated to Vermont a couple years ago. Relying heavily on wit and storytelling, his original music can reliably be classified as a form of punk-influenced folk.
