ARTS Pick: Scars on 45

British crooners Scars on 45 inspire soul-searching with tunes driven by hope and longing and grounded by piano and mellow guitar. Led by the soothing voices of Danny Bembrose and Aimee Driver, the quintet weaves an audio experience that is nothing short of euphoric.

Tuesday 7/22. $15, 8pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.
