Luke Temple / Meernaa @ The Empty Bottle
Fri Sep 13, 9:00 PM - Sat Sep 14, 6:00 AM

I want to say he’s got an unmatched intuition for the askew. I want to say his only real contemporary peer is another master songsmith named Cass McCombs. I could make a pretty infallible case for any of these statements. But at the end of the day, it’d be adding too many bells and whistles to what his new album is. At its core, it’s one of the year’s most stunning folk records. You should just let Temple’s high-and-lonesome salve of a voice raise your goose-pimples from their dormancy. You should let his insightful, devastating lyrics make tiny, tender tears in your soul.Oakland natives MEERNAA bring mesmerizing vocals and glittery synth goodness to the stage, and boy, are we ready. In the short year since releasing their debut EP, MEERNAA has adoring fans all over the dang nation swoonin’ from their heavenly hits. Buckle up, gang — you’re in for a real treat.
