Howe Gelb's 70th Sun Cycle Concert, with Giant Sand and Lonna Kelley, at The Rebel Lounge.
Howe Gelb is playing The Rebel Lounge on Sunday, October 18, for his 70th Sun Cycle Concert. It's a milestone show, and he's not doing it alone: Giant Sand and Lonna Kelley are on the bill with him. If you've followed his work, you know Giant Sand is the band he's spent decades building around, so seeing them together on the same stage is the main draw here.
Gelb's music has always sat in that loose, desert-worn space where rock and roll meets something a bit more open and unpredictable. Giant Sand is the vehicle for that—a group that can stretch a song out or pull it tight, and that's exactly what they'll be doing throughout the afternoon. Lonna Kelley joins in, adding her own voice to the mix. Between the two of them, you've got the core of the sound Gelb has been working with for years.
