They'll share the bill with the Librarians -- pretty and gritty, combining the dreamy and the everyday, the surreal and political, the archetypal and personal, shining a defiant light in these dark days. (And they don't just sing about making change -- Carly's running for Port Commissioner. Vote!!)
Together, this should make for a fine and fun evening of music and good vibes.
