Blind Pig 208 S. First St., Ann Arbor

All ages. Soulful rock ‘n’ roll quintet from Brighton, England fronted by the singer-songwriter duo of Georgie Fuller & William Turner. Its sound is a throwback to 60s sun-drenched Laurel Canyon folk-pop mixed with early English psychedelia. They “write and play music with that lick of madness that makes early Fleetwood Mac and peak Stones so thrilling,” writes one Guardian reviewer. Opener: MT Jones, an English pop-rock singer-songwriter. $30.
