Dave Daniels and the PTA (Part Time Association) are playing a show at the Earl tonight (Wed., Feb. 24). Daniels is a rare breed who blends the whole nostalgic guy with a guitar and a story to tell thing with rollicking, rustic inflections. He knows good music and knows how to have a good time, and he follows these instincts with his songs, rather than rely on sincere self-indulgence. The subtly psychedelic banjo and organ come together in a backdrop that keeps the quick drums and guitar moving along, giving the songs on his most recent album, Just Like Ghosts, a naturally bucolic charm. On his website he lists John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Dave Matthews as influences... I guess two out of three ain’t bad... Regardless, the music is smooth, effortless, and if he suffers for his art, it doesn’t show. Imagination Head and Nerd Parade open the show. $7. 8:30 p.m. The Earl. 488 Flat Shoals Rd. 404-522-3950.
