Scythian (Citybar) from 9pm - 2am, cover $5
Scythian started several years ago as nothing more than a group of street performers. Raised playing classical music, necessity drove Scythian (pronounced sith-ee-yin) to play at street corners in hopes of earning a few bucks for gas money. Although the need for petrol got Scythian started, it was the great times they had and the appreciative listeners they met that kept them going. It was through the encouragement of these friends that Scythian became a full fledged band and we thank you.

Brett Harris (Citybar) from 9pm - 12:30am
Brett Harris has come a long way from his days singing into a hand-me-down tape recorder in his basement. Last year, the Durham singer-songwriter emerged from that basement with a collection of songs and began playing shows throughout the region. With Yesterday’s News, his self- released first EP, Brett merges a unique vocal style and vintage influences to craft songs that are both infectious and soulful. Brett recorded the EP at Overdub Lane Studios under the direction of producer/engineer John Plymale in only a few days, playing every instrument himself. The EP proves Brett’s versatility as a musician as well as a songwriter. From the Paul McCartney-inspired, whimsical charm of “Cream with Coffee” to the aching melody of “Tennessee Line,” each song is distinctive yet familiar. If you listen to Brett Harris’ music, beware: You will be humming for days. “…[Brett's] on stage charisma matches the enjoyable intelligence of his music.” -Edwin Arnaudin, The Daily Tar Heel
