Eight Gigs: Spangler
Sat., March 12, 9 p.m., Fox & Goose, $5
Folk-rock band Spangler doesn’t mind dwelling on each moment within its songs; unhurried guitar and tender melodies ponder every lyric with earnest attention. These are songs for the lovelorn and sentimental among us, with the band pining over the complexities of love and life. Its advanced perspectives suggest hard-earned experience, and the wife and husband who front the band frame their musings eloquently; nostalgia-tinted harmonies that are ardent and enduring keep from falling into the usual sugary-sweet platitudes or hardened-heart clichés. 1011 R Street, www.spanglermusic.com.
