CANCELED: Why Bonnie, Van Mary [inside]
The memories are hazy, but the guitar line is crisp: Blair Howerton looks back on the Gulf Coast’s muddy waters in “Galveston,” Why Bonnie’s wistful latest single. “Candyland beaches/ Water too salty to swim,” she remembers, over Josh Malett’s mellow beat. It all seems so vivid, but still, “It’s slipping through my hand.” It’s the kind of song you bob your head to, even as it fills you with melancholia. Indie rockers Van Mary open for the dream-poppers on Tuesday – cool kids, get ready to cross your arms and nod along in the back.
