EDITOR’S PICK: SWORDS & THE SHADY PERRYS, KLEVAH
Mike ‘N Molly’s ($7) — Friday, November 29th at 9 p.m.

Local hip-hop emcee Shannon Swords is bringing his new material from his stellar album Depth to Mike ‘N Molly’s on Friday night. If you haven’t done so already, please, go listen to the new album. It’s terrific.

He’ll be joined by his backing band The Shady Perrys, as well as fellow local emcee Klevah. She’s coming off the release of her debut mixtape The W8 from earlier this year. There are other acts to be announced later, but even if it was just these two acts, it is well worth your time to head out to this one this upcoming Friday night.

I’ll be sure to post updates on this show as soon as they’re made available.
