Relaxed roots influences tinged with psychedelica mark the sound of Richmond, Virginia’s Avers. The collaborative quintet is derived from various musical projects including HyperColor, Farm Vegas, Mason Brothers, The Trillions, and The Head and the Heart. Despite its impressive indie pedigree, the group hardly considers itself a side project as it tours in support of the upcoming release, Waiting for the Harvest, full of haunting vocals and gritty sonic texture.
Friday 1/31. $7, 8:30pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.
