Great Gigs in March: Mary Gauthier, Brett Dennen, Bonnie Raitt, and more

All-time Acoustic Sunrise favorite Greg Brown brings his warm, rich voice to Freight and Salvage on the 1st. March also brings some standout shows by local scenesters: fabulous Bay Area women The T Sisters team up with Megan Slankard at the Great American Music Hall on the 9th and John Lester appears at one of KC Turner’s wonderful House Concerts on the 10th.

Bonnie Raitt graces the stage at both the City National Civic on the 15th and a benefit for North Bay fire victims at the Fox on the 20th. Bonnie is my all-time favorite for her warm, compassionate stage presence and her impeccable guitar skills. She may be the greatest female slide guitar player of all time!

Speaking of terrific women, Cheryl Wheeler appears with road buddy Kenny White, the finest pianist/songwriter I know of, at Freight on the 29th.

And on the Americana side, Mary Gauthier debuts her album songs for and by veterans at the Freight on the 29th. Max Gomez, whose song “Senseless Love” I’ve been playing, will open.

Irish balladeer Glen Hansard, known for his work with The Frames and Swell Season (as seen in the movie Once) will thrill those at the Fox March 12 with his emotional intensity. And I’m excited to see two recent musical discoveries: the understated but charming Henry Jamison appears with the adventurous electro-folk outfit Darlingside at the Great American Music Hall March 10th.
