The show will feature songs from their well-received fourth album–The Phosphorescent Blues–which was released last month. Tickets are available for purchase online. Listen before you go: "Julep." Wednesday, March 4th, 8 p.m., Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden Street.

Three years ago, Utah-based rock band Desert Noises packed their bags and hopped in a van, leaving behind jobs, family, and ideas of a conventional lifestyle to travel America and pursue music full-time.

Tickets are available for purchase online. Listen before you go: "Oak Tree." Friday, March 6th, 8 p.m., 21+, Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad Street.
If you've turned on the radio any time in the last year, you're probably familiar with Hozier's single, "Take Me To Church," dubbed the most-shared Spotify tune of 2014 with over 87 million plays.

Sharp, smoky vocals are coupled with wicked strings to produce trance-like tracks that beg for your full attention. He's just one of those artists you need to see live. You can still find tickets right here. Listen before you go: "From Eden." Saturday, March 7th, 8:30 p.m., Electric Factory, 421 N. 7th Street.
