Guided By Voices (http://www.gbv.com/)
Sweet Apple (http://sweetapplesongs.com/)

This show is Sold Out, meaning you'll have to go stand outside & wait for all the people with extra tickets to roll up. I'm guessing that canceled babysitters will put a major hurt on this particular audience demographic.

Christy Smith (http://www.myspace.com/thetenderfruit)
The Pinhook, Durham

Christy Smith used to be half of a band called The Tender Fruit who put out one of my favorite albums of this year (and since it was primarily Christy playing guitar & singing, her solo show should be similarly awesome).
