    About This Event

    A three-act bill at Union Pool pairs Told Slant, Sweet Baby Jesus and Attic Basement, artists whose work sits between country, anti-folk and lo-fi indie. Attic Basement blends country with midwest emo and shoegaze textures and brings an established online audience; Sweet Baby Jesus favors direct storytelling and small-room, guitar-driven arrangements; Told Slant offers lo-fi, atmosphere-focused sets informed by anti-folk and occasional opera billing.
