Denver, Widower, What Hearts
9 pm., Friday January 18 | $8.
[COUNTRY] If you enjoy dusty country music with howling harmonica solos and twangy allusions to dancing with the moon, then this evening will be a good night to see Portland’s Denver perform some wandering cowboy songs. The rest of the lineup will be worth a watch, too. Seattle’s Widower, highlighted by the melancholy country-folk musings of frontman Kevin Large, celebrates the release of its long-awaited new album, Fool Moon, this week. With the addition of fellow Seattle singer-songwriter Kaylee Cole, the group turns out some gorgeous vocal pairings. Opening the night will be the cast of lovely local women known as What Hearts. Fronted by Julie Vitells, the quintet plays instrumentally understated songs full of quirky, descriptive lyrics and subtle multi-part harmonies.
