Although a much too short 45 minute set of their own, June Star made their annual pilgrimage to the Tree Bar for a fun filled evening of damn good music. Andrew didn't feel well, which happens about half the time he comes to Columbus, and/or the short set was an attempt to conserve energy as he and Dave Hadley accompanied Birds and Arrows through their hour long set. I could listen to June Star play for hours! An especially chilling version of Pope of Mexico was the highlight for me this time around, and there were a couple songs thrown in that I wasn't familiar with. Presumably these are new tunes, as Andrew mentioned some demos that he had been working on. Huge thank you to June Star for bringing Birds and Arrows to Columbus, and the two bands playing together was brilliant. Matt Monta opened the evening with a wonderful set of singer-songwriter bliss. I appreciate him more every time I see him. 

Pick up one (or several) of June Star's official releases. There are eight flavors to choose from, including the latest, "Kill The Lights". Another of my personal favorites is, "Cora Belle". You really can't go wrong with any of them. Also, treat yourself to seeing them live if you ever have the opportunity!
