During last fall’s ACL Festival afternoon slot on the BMI stage, Clover County’s A.G. Schiano confessed she felt more comfortable playing in dark clubs, so she should be right at home in the intimacy of Mohawk’s inside stage. The Athens, Georgia, songwriter pines behind a soft country croon that lifts in an immaculately easy pop lilt on her debut LP Finer Things, which just received a deluxe reissue. Pulling between tides of nostalgia and restlessness, Clover County plays with a charm and profound simplicity. Nashville’s Ethansroom opens with his catchy DIY bedroom pop. – Doug Freeman
