When: Sunday, Sept. 1 630pm drinks/seating 7pm show Where: 3XX Shepherd Street NW, Washington, DC 20011 RSVP/address: luckypenny@luckypennylivingroom.com Suggested donation: $25 (cash/venmo/paypal)-100% goes to Sam & Kim. https://brightwiremusic.com/ Samuel and Kim Barker, along with fellow musician Michael Helfenstein, make up the folk-rock group Brightwire. Their sound is mellow, their lyrics poignant. With echoes of John Prine, Tom Petty and The Little River Band, the music washes over you like the cooling water of a running brook in the hot Texas sun. Hailing from the Bayou City, this combo brings together a rootsy amalgam of relatable storytelling folk and old-time country swing, finishing it off with a generous sprinkling of raw and primal punk punch. This fantastically bombastic and utterly compelling sound has been captured on quintessential underground records such as 2021’s Cracked, Flawed and Frayed and 2024’s Here, But Gone.
