The Blackberry Bushes: alt-folk on the Westbank

(this piece was published by Planet JH Weekly)If you’re not into the masses of folks that will converge on Snow King Center Thursday night, consider taking in an evening of alt-folk string band The Blackberry Bushes from Seattle. Taking cues from other contemporary folk bands like Nickel Creek and The Be Good Tanyas, the trio draws from the deep roots of American traditional music with a delicate, virtuosic fiddle-laced sound of their own. The Blackberry Bushes, 7 p.m. Thursday at Roadhouse Brewing. Free. 739-0700.
