Music news Wilkie Family plays Eddie's Attic tonight

Please note that the Wilke Family will be performing tonight at Eddie's Attic.
Maverick string band the Wilkie Family singers (lead by King Wilkie) are playing at Eddie's Attic tonight (Wed., Nov. 4).
According to the Wilkie Family's Boston-based label, Casa Nueva:
The disk is a beguiling concept album, purportedly written and recorded by the dysfunctional Wilkie family as part of a music therapy program spearheaded by the mysterious Dr. Art... musically, it mixes early American stringband styles (from parlour ballads to old-time and bluegrass) with more contemporary influences -- chamber-pop, brass-band music, and much more. Special guests on the disk include Robyn Hitchcock, Peter Rowan, David Bromberg, John McEuen, Abigail Washburn and Sam Parton (of Be Good Tanyas)... Their music has slowly evolved from hardcore traditional bluegrass to something quite undefinable.
