See You There

	Blues ’N March Festival (Saturday, March 29) by Geoff Kelly
	There’s nothing so evocative as a blues moniker. Take, for example the lineup at the second annual Blues ’n March Festival, sponsored by the Blues Society of Western New York: Fruteland Jackson, Billy Boy Arnold, 12PackJack, the Hurricanes, Cale Hawkins, Nick Moss and the FlipTops…names that taste of bourbon and bad times, cigarettes and road trips.
	Stars (Tuesday, April 1) by Peter Koch
	Montreal-based indie pop quintet Stars comes to Buffalo next week in support of their fourth full-length album, In Our Bedroom After the War
	Blitzen Trapper, Fleet Foxes (Thursday, April 3) by Eric Boucher
	Portland, Oregon’s Blitzen Trapper self-released two recordings before the critically acclaimed Wild Mountain Nation, which won praise from Pitchfork Media, Rolling Stone and ultimately Sub Pop, who re-released the album last summer. The sextet roams over country, folk, indie and elecrtro terrain, giving their music a spontaneous and unpredictable feel. At some points they hint at classic Pavement and Flaming Lips, while at other times invoking the cosmic cowboy country sound of the Grateful Dead.
