OSCURA

Friday: 8-11:30 p.m.

Have Gun, Will Travel is a nationally acclaimed Alternative rock/folk band known for its indie rock, classic country, hints-of-punk, Americana sound. Indeed, it is challenging to assign the genre specifically, as it seems HGWT set off determined to create one all its own. Born of Bradenton, references to its hometown roots can be found tucked into some of the band's original songs, and in the title of its 2009 album, ""Postcards from the Friendly City."" The band's most recent release of the highly anticipated album, Silver Sounds, delivered to fans yet another tribute to Bradenton with ""The ballad Our Fair City.""

Formed in 2006, the band's members consist of brothers Matt Burke (singer-guitarist) and Daniel Burke (bassist), and longtime friends guitarist Scott Anderson, drummer Sam Farmer, and keyboardist Edward Stork. Lead vocalist Matt Burke's songwriting draws on Western themes of life and death, honor, and morality throughout the band's narrative songs. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door.
