Tonight is one of those nights when there are a number of good bands playing, any one of which I might have recommended.  But the band I suggest, make that urge, you to see is Steve Wynn and The Miracle 3 (guitarist Jason Victor, bassist Dave DeCastro and drummer Linda Pitmon).  You won’t see a better live show anywhere else this evening, or the rest of this year for that matter.  They’re playing on the Lower East Side, just a short F train ride away.  Get all the details here at Now I’ve Heard Everything.

However, if you insist on not leaving Brooklyn, you have a very good show over at The BAM Cafe, with Julia Haltigan and her band.  BAM notes that “singer and guitarist Julia Haltigan’s musical world is made from equal parts Americana, indie eclecticism, and Tom Waits.”  Details of this free show are here at the BAM Cafe website.
