Music Tonight: Sunday, March 30

More roots-rock Americana on tap tonight at the Old Steeple, where Alabama’s relatively young native son Early James will be performing a set of custom tunes which seem older than the maker. In short, James has tapped into the older goods of the deep, resonant human sounds of our cultural traditions and he has the chops and voice to make magic out of that wellspring. He’s playing an appropriately early show as well, starting at 7:30 p.m., when the crepuscular knife edge slices a line into the dark hours that belong to the faithful departed in the cemetery next door ($21.50).
