Heads-up for next week: a couple of non-Celtic bands try St. Patrick's Day music next Tuesday: the Hogwashers at Maxie's, 6 pm; and the Orbiting Art Ensemble at the Lost Dog Lounge, 9:30. For the tried-and-true, there is a Traditional Irish Session at the Chapter House, 7 pm.

Friday, 27 March, Tuvan throat-singers Alash come to the Lost Dog Lounge, with opening act (from considerably nearer) the Evil City String Band. Advance tickets are $15. Fewer than 100 are available for this intimate venue, so quick action is recommended. Tickets are available at Small World Music.
