Squirrel Flower w/ Dari Bay

The Read

Squirrel Flower operates in the space between folk restraint and full distortion, and the records are structured around that switch — a whispered verse, then everything at once. Live, the dynamic range is the whole event. Williams sings low in the mix on purpose and makes you lean in, which is a risky move in a bar and a great one in a listening room. The Blue Room is Third Man’s in-house venue, small, oddly shaped, and treated with real care about sound. Dari Bay opens. Seven o’clock start, which means you can see a full show and still get dinner afterward. This is the kind of booking that makes the room worth checking every month.
