Music Menu / News Dar Williams and Foxy Shazam tonight (June 28)

Posted By on Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 8:38 AM

Dar Williams Songstress Dar Williams is spending the summer touring her clean, intelligent folk. The singer-songwriter takes on gender issues ("When I Was a Boy"), religion ("The Christians and the Pagans") and more in her socially and politically conscious songs, but don't think that means she doesn't have fun. The New York state native is prone to genre-hop in her choice of covers and has recorded her own versions of tracks by everyone from Pink Floyd ("Comfortably Numb") to Fountains of Wayne ("Troubled Times"). $22-$30, McGlohon Theatre, www.blumenthalcenter.org (Allie Goolrick)

Foxy Shazam Listening to front man Eric Nally evokes an immediate Freddy Mercury comparison. But that's not fair, where Mercury was suave and otherworldly, Nally is corky and spastic. Mercury was a magnetic front man and while Nally is no slacker on the mic, he's still in the developmental stage. The band's music is all over the place, '70s rock riffs, ska-like horns, sparring piano and bass and dancey percussion. They're hard to peg but are admittedly catchy. With Babyshaker and The Lights, Fluorescent. $8-$10, Tremont Music Hall, www.tremontmusichall.com (Samir Shukla)
