[COUNTRY] + FRI., JUNE 23
Rockingham is BJ Barham’s first release outside his day job fronting the equally alt-country American Aquarium. On it, he croons about his grandpa’s exhausting years working at a tobacco company, and the small North Carolina town where he grew up. It all feels a little like when someone is wearing a pair of Levis, and you can’t tell if the hole in the knees is from heavy wear or if the jeans were sold that way. Barham’s stop at Club Café tonight is part of his whirlwind 48-state tour, but the other 47 states don’t have Paul Joseph, frontman of Pittsburgh rock band Wine and Spirit, opening. 8 p.m. 56 S. 12th St., South Side. $15. 412-431-4950 or www.clubcafelive.com
