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
