Not as if there aren't 6 or 7 other great gigs tonight, but since no-
one else has mentioned it here, and since it's the only one early in
the evening...
Dan Bryk's Unhappy Hour
Blayloc
108 Morris St, Durham, NC 27701
6:30-8:30
Drink, eat, listen, drink. PWYC.
Part of a bi-monthly Friday Night Happy Hour singer-songwriter series
at Blayloc.
For all the sturm und drang about bringing downtown Durham back to
life, it would have been nice for the Indy to have gotten behind this
FREE series the past month and a half (after Django launched it, that
is.) There have been some pretty good local songwriters playing I had
never heard before.

"Bryk has three assets that help his classic piano-man style find
purchase in this cynical age: A fatally gorgeous and tactfully
deployed falsetto, a minutely specific worldview, and a dash of lo-fi
indie rockery to deflate accusations of retrofetish... a sparkling
pop palimpsest." -Pitchfork
"Gemlike acts of idiosyncratic genius... proof of just how
exaggerated reports of song's demise remain." (A-)
-Christgau
"Dan Bryk is a nerd, he's a dork, he's a geek, he's a tard. But he's
also polished, a real craftsman and he's honest, and he brings out
the dork in all of us. He will make you love him." -Laurie Notaro
