Smooth Hound Smith The DuPont Brothers (early show)

When: Fri., Oct. 28, 8 p.m. 2016

This Nashville-based duo, comprised of Zack Smith and Caitlin Doyle, does bluesy folk rock right. Take the band’s “Stopgap Woman Blues,” a brisk track that comes alive through harmonica, tambourine and rustic, finger-picked guitar. The group released its sophomore album, Sweet Tennessee Honey, earlier this year and is currently touring to support it. The DuPont Brothers open the show.
