Eight Gigs: The Lurk
Fri., April 1, 10 p.m., G Street Wünderbar, free
He’s a one-man band who travels with a suitcase packed full of country, folk and rock ’n’ roll. With a kick drum powered by his foot, a harmonica wrapped around his neck and an acoustic guitar across his lap, the Lurk entertains with original tunes as well as covers; Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” is transformed into an upbeat, finger-pickin’ country tune called “Boots” that inspires either the two-step or rock ’n’ roll jigs. But it’s Chuck Berry’s “Never Can Tell” that really captures the Lurk’s lively one-man-powered stage bravado. 228 G Street in Davis, www.thelurk.bandcamp.com.
