Womanish Girl, 5 p.m. Friday, Zoo Bar.
Guitarist/singer Katy Guillen and drummer Stephanie Williams collaborated for almost seven years in the internationally touring blues rock band Katy Guillen & The Girls. Now they’re Womanish Girl, exploring the guttural roots music of Junior Kimbrough, R.L.
Burnside, Big Mama Thornton and Mississippi Fred McDowell, along with creating their own songs in similar raw, propulsive style. Gasoline Lollipops, 9 p.m.
Friday, Zoo Bar. Three-time winners of Colorado Daily’s best local band award and two-time winners of Denver Westword’s best country band prize, Gasoline Lollipops channel a Tom Waits-meets-Bob Dylan growl in its genre-blending, aggressive Americana in electric live performances. Kimmi Bitter & The Westside Twang, 9 p.
m. Saturday, Zoo Bar. Kimmi Bitter and her band, The Westside Twang, are dedicated to bringing back old-school straight-up country music, circa 1962, with her most recent harmony-drenched ballads, “My Grass is Blue,” which made Saving Country Music’s best of 2022 list, and “I Dream of You,” begging comparisons to Patsy Cline with The Jordanaires.
The Vandoliers, 5 p.m. Sunday, Zoo Bar.
The Vandoliers can only be described with two words: Texas music. That’s because the six-man band mixes genres from punk to country, Tejano to psychedelia, folk to blues — that could only have come from the Lone Star State and it does so with confidence, verve and its own sense of style. They’re back in Lincoln for.
