C-Boy’s clocks some of the best happy hour residencies in town, and the roots-rocking quintet Restos punches back in on Thursdays in August. Last year’s debut LP, Ain’t Dead Yet, rang like a declaration from the remnants of their previous outfit, Western Youth, pounding with an underdog Springsteen-meets-Petty energy behind the rip of Mark Nathan’s freewheeling lead guitar and frontman Graham Weber’s drawl oscillating between yearning and defiance. Jane Ellen Bryant – Jane Leo siren and member of Restos’ self-proclaimed Wu-Twang collective – lines up the halftime show between sets and likely joins the band for some duet action. – Doug Freeman
Thursdays in August, 6:30pm
