09.19.08 - Starry Plough Pub Berkeley, CA (9 Camera Shoot)
-with David Bryson, Marty Jones, Jerry Becker and Jim Bogios
Local singer/songwriter Aidan Hawken takes the Starry Plough’s stage this evening, just weeks after releasing The Sleep of Trees, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2005′s sentimental Pillows and Records. Hawken’s songs are big-hearted and grandiose, handily conjuring the orchestral bombast of Arcade Fire and the heart-on-sleeve emotion of the Cure. He’s joined on stage by a star-studded backing band featuring members of Counting Crows and Persephone’s Bees. Glider (another Counting Crows’ side project) and Patrick Winningham Band open.
