A.C. Newman @ Beacon Theater – Sun. 8/26

A.C. Newman, for those unaware, is the lead singer/songwriter/creative force behind indie pop-rock sensations the New Pornographers. But Carl’s solo work, while still maintaining a signature sound, can, at times, be more stripped down to the bare framework of the song, giving the audience a more intimate listening experience. But don’t fear New Pornos fans: there will still be plenty of poppy fun and songs chock full of engaging hooks to get those feet moving. Casual and hardcore fans should check this show out this Sunday.


RIYL: New Pornographers, Neko Case, The Shins, Spoon, Peter Bjorn and John

Just Announced: REVENGE OF THE BOOKEATERS 8/26 at the Beacon Theater
