Right. So, for any ladies out there doubting that it’s completely possible to fall in love more than thrice in the span of a week … you’re about to be proved wrong, times six (or times some other number … this isn’t real math).
Allow me to explain: Sam Amidon, Father John Misty, Josh Ritter, any of the Felice Brothers, both of the Milk Carton Kids, and Father John Misty. Oh, and any of the guys in Seryn. And Father John Misty.
Possibly the cuddliest and funniest of them all (read as: Father John Misty isn’t exactly cuddly, am I right?) are the fellas who make up MCK. Oh and it gets better, it gets better. If you’ve never heard their sound, you CAN on Sunday at the Bowery Ballroom. Come check ’em out in a space well-suited for their harmonies … and I’ll provide the drool rags. Take a look-see at their recent appearance on Conan, below:
