Eight Gigs: Rainbow Girls

The ramblin’ Rainbow Girls make its way back to its home state after a few years busking and playing around Europe, refining its sweet, soaring harmonies and heading firmly in a folksier direction. The trio formed after meeting at an open-mic in Santa Barbara in 2010 and have since morphed its sound into something akin to First Aid Kit meets Mountain Man. The band has largely garnered its following by playing house shows, and even still, its website offers up an email address where you can request to host them yourself. 904 15th Street, www.rainbowgirlsmusic.com.
