Live Music- Pigpen Theatre Co., Pearl and The Beard, and Goodnight,Texas
Saturday, May 30

The musical lineup at Soda Bar (3614 El Cajon Blvd., Normal Heights) should be both entertaining and unique. Starting the night will be Goodnight, Texas, an Americana outfit that blends classic country and folk for a timeless sound. Their storytelling songs are accompanied by everything from banjo to mandolin. Also on the bill are Pearl and the Beard, a folk-pop trio featuring charming harmonies and toe-tapping rhythms. Headlining are Pigpen Theatre Co., who are both a theater company and a band, interestingly enough. They’re currently on tour as the latter and preparing to release their second full-length indie-folk album this summer. With seven members, the band creates a big sound with an expected cinematic element for soaring songs. Doors open at 8:30 p.m., tickets are $14.
