BlueSix weekend: 3 Leafs, Walking in Sunlight, Birds & Batteries + more

It’s a tough weekend to avoid the BlueSix: two solid and almost entirely native back-to-back lineups.

Administering massive psych jams is 3 Leafs, who has many times been undeniably named a supergroup including members of Horn of Dagoth, Black Fiction, Tussle and Citay. They’re joined on Saturday (9pm) by Birds & Batteries, Sean Smith and Spencer Owen (Smith plays guitar for Citay), and Tony Dryer.

Then comes Americana-folk Sunday, consisting of Justin Frahm (of This Union Standard), ex-Bay Area resident Matt Bauer and Walking in Sunlight.

Walking in Sunlight is the two-man version of Last of the Blacksmiths, stripped down with a traditional southern style and stunning vocal harmonies assisted by Eva Wanta. There’s not much in terms of recordings just yet, aside from a cover the three did of Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s “Rich Wife Full of Happiness.”
