Don’t forget where you come from — it’s an axiom that The Wheeler Brothers live by. Although the powerhouse folk troupe made their mark in Austin, Texas, the brothers have family in the Black Swamp. Maybe that’s why they’re having a release party for their new album in Toledo. It comes as no surprise because when they are touring, the boys always play a few shows here – and what shows they are. The Wheeler Brothers are like our very own Mumford & Sons, except a bit grittier — and with a better sound. According to internet legend, they’ve never played a show in Austin that hasn’t sold out. TCP readers should make sure to see this talented bunch. This concert promises to be particularly hot, as the band will be fresh off a string of headlining gigs following Austin’s South By Southwest festival. $10 adv. / $12 door. 8pm. Friday, March 29th. Mickey Finn’s Pub, 602 Lagrange St. 419-246-3466. www.mickeyfinnspub.com—JS
