Schubas Tavern hosted a trifecta of singer songwriters on Thursday night. First up, Julia Steiner of Ratboys mixed in some brand new songs with some Ratboys favorites, her bandmate Dave Sagan accompanying her on most songs. Next up, Big Thief's Buck Meek and his band warmed up the stage playing songs from his solo debut, self-titled album before returning to the stage again to accompany Sam Evian. By the time Evian hit the stage, the room had completely packed in, and the musicians all exuded a magnetic chemistry as they played through songs on Evian's new album You, Forever.
Check out photos of all three of the sets below.

Big Thief's Buck Meek warmed up the stage for Margaret Glaspy at Evanston's SPACE venue on Tuesday night. Both artists performed with a bare-bones, minimalist set up, Meek hitting the stage on his own and completely captivating the sold-out crowd with only his voice and guitar. Glaspy also stripped down her usual set, performing only alongside Julian Lage, rather than with a full band. The laid-back lineup allowed for Glaspy to really show off her vocal chops, and the crowd cheered graciously between songs, showing appreciation for the special performance.
