JT Nero (JT & The Clouds) and Allison Russell (Po’ Girl) are too perfect as a duo not to officially form a band. His perfectly cracked country vocals and her sweet, soulful croon on top of their combined rootsy, rhythmic sound tap into a brilliant reservoir of despair and longing, which translated naturally into their new project, Birds of Chicago. The two have collaborated for years, but after last year’s Mountains/Forests (under Nero’s name) it became undeniable that their connection was worth holding onto and nurturing. 1516 Adams Street. $12 in advance, $15 at the door. 7:30pm. 419-243-6675. www.manhattanstoeldo.com
