[DID NOT ATTEND: January 11, 2025] Speedy Ortiz / The Tisburys / Big Benny Bailey
I saw Speedy Ortiz as a headliner in July and as an opener in September. I really didn’t expect to see that they were playing Philly again so soon.
I didn’t really feel the need to see them again so soon, and I was kind of enjoying not going to shows for the beginning of January. So I stayed away from this one.
The Tisburys are a Philly band who I have just recently come to know (although I see they’ve been around for ten years). They are described as early aughts-leaning pop/rock while keeping that indescribable Philly grit. They played XPNFest which is probably why their name was familiar to me. They have a folk rock vibe but their music isn’t folk rock.
I assumed that Big Benny Bailey was jazz band, but it turns out Big Benny Bailey is the country project of Shamir and Ben Pierce of Folkadelphia. Which is a pretty fascinating mix. Why is everyone going country these days?
