Now, with new and once again local ownership, Piere’s has another chance. The landscape GO TO OUR WEBSITE has changed since 2013.

Also this week, Penhollow interviews Steve Forbert (playing an intimate show at The B-Side at One Lucky Guitar on May 20), Michele DeVinney profiles the Tim Harrington Band, John Hubner reviews the new Metavari album, Nic Braun looks ahead to GearFest, Amber Foster discovers what may be the best tacos in town, and DeVinney previews the Embassy’s Summer Nights series in her Fare Warning column.
