[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?

[DID NOT ATTEND: October 30, 2021] Garcia Peoples / The Tisburys

I ‘ve seen Garcia Peoples a bunch of times.  I like to think of them as my local jam band. I’ve seen them enough that I’ve actually missed them a few times and not been too upset about it because I am pretty sure I’ll be able to catch them again.

This show was the same night as a show by Diane Coffee who I had really wanted to see, so I didn’t even bother looking into tickets.

The Tisburys sounds like a band from Canada to me.  But they are actually from Philly.

Their sound is actually pretty much exactly what I’d expect from a band called The Tisburys.  Jangly power pop with a retro edge and a vaguely country vibe.  Think Jayhawks, I guess.

They’d probably frt pretty well with Garcia Peoples, who I’m sure put on an amazing show.
