Charlie Faye

She made Tucson the first city on this “slow tour” and followed up her month here with stints in in Los Angeles, CA, Portland, OR, Boulder, CO, Shreveport, LA, Burlington, VT, Milwaukee, WI, Nashville, TN, Asheville, NC, and Woodstock, NY.

Devendra Banhart

w/ Rodrigo Amarante (18+, 7PM, $20/24)

Devendra Banhart is a bearded, oddball American singer-songwriter most closely associated with the freak-folk uprising that captured the public’s imagination in 2004. Though Banhart did much to cultivate the sense of a ‘movement’ through Golden Apples of the Sun, a compilation he assembled for Arthur magazine in 2004, the name rankled him.
