Jessica Errett, Tara Vaughan, All Young Girls Are Machine Guns
Three of my favorite women performers in Omaha, all on one show. Errett performs classic singer-songwriter as the head of Edge of Arbor, whle Vaughan specializes in bright yet heartfelt piano pop, and AYGAMG plays story-driven ukulele swing and soul.

Back When, Conduits, Noah's Ark Was a Spaceship, Honey & Darling
Conduits is a veritable who's who of local talent, playing "psychedlic-influenced dirge", and Honey & Darling, featuring Sara Bertuldo of Millions of Boys, makes vibrant indie pop-rock. The two groups open for Back When, an Omaha group releasing its first album since 2005.
