Squirrel Flower w/ Sour Widows

Squirrel Flower plays Off Broadway on Friday, October 23, with Sour Widows and Freckles opening. It's a three-act bill, so the night starts well before the headliner takes the stage.

Squirrel Flower is the project of singer-songwriter Alexa Rose-Johnston, and the music usually sits in that quiet, textural space where folk and indie rock overlap. Her songs tend to build slowly, starting with a single voice and a guitar and gradually adding layers of sound until they reach a full, distorted peak. It's the kind of music that asks you to lean in and listen, rather than something you'd just have on in the background.

Sour Widows and Freckles round out the lineup, each taking a turn before Squirrel Flower closes the night. With three acts on the bill, the music will run through a good portion of the evening, so if you're coming for the headliner, you'll have two other sets to work through first.

Off Broadway is at 3509 Lemp Avenue in St. Louis. Doors open at 7 PM, and the first act starts at 8 PM.
