Jared & The Mill Staff Pick
Price: $13
www.thestateroom.com/calendar/jared-a-the-mill-1
The six Phoenix gentlemen who make up Jared & the Mill play Southwestern indie folk-rock with a tinge of country and bluegrass influence, complete with accordion, banjo and Zydeco rubboard (the iconic metal instrument that looks like an old-timey washboard). Their sophomore album—released April 14, a year and a half after their debut album, Western Expansion—is called Life We Chose. Both albums switch between upbeat and laidback rock with the occasional banjo-driven hoe-down throw-down, like in the title track (and some chord endings at the end of songs pulling up slightly in a subtle country twang). The band filmed a 25-minute documentary about their album tour, showing the relationship between Jared and his five heavily bearded bandmates, whose friendships have intertwined since they were young. California-born, Salt Lake City-based folk-rock artist Kaleb Hanly opens with his indie-folk compositions, from an album he released April 26 at Urban Lounge. (Tiffany Frandsen)
