Gabe Liebowitz from Dastardly braved his way through the snow and traffic to play at Cowboy Monkey just a couple weeks ago, and now this beard-laden folk mastermind is goin’ solo at the Transporter Room 3 with fellow Chicago folkers Bears of Blue River (they also have beards!). While I don’t know the facial hair status of From Krakow with Love, the Facebook event calls them “darkwave casio gods in training,” which sounds quite charming! It’ll be a pretty charming time! Bring your prince charming! — Adam Barnett, Music Editor

Joe Pug is the definition of tall, lanky, musically gifted, swoon-worthy, polite southern gentleman. I saw him last spring, and he is a dream. If you’re into honest, folksy music, you are in for a treat. The man wears a flannel shirt, unbuttoned tantalizingly low. He talks to you like you’re his best friend and lover and is just the sweetest thing in the world. Go enjoy his music. — Amy Harwath, Community Editor
