^{I was hoping to see Phoenix based indie pop musician R Ariel at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Nov. 15, but unfortunately just missed her set.}

 ^{I arrived in time for local band Birch Barks, who I hadn’t seen for a while.}

 ^{They played a tight set of indie rock  with a heavy Radiohead feel. So there was plenty of chiming, delay laden guitars with plenty of layers and haunting vocals.}

^{They had a decent sized crowd cheering them on.}
