Matt Valentine & Erika Elder with Charalambides February 17, 2007

Matt Valentine and Erika Elder (featured in this month's The Wire magazine) bring their free folk American roots to Santa Cruz. Charalambides (how do you say it?) opens or supports. Hearing good things about both. Will Oldham sites the latter as an influence this year.

After soaking up some of free folks' elder stateswoman Victoria WIlliams during the M.Ward show at Bimbo's 365 on Super Bowl Sunday, I'm ready for more.
