Matthew Sweet night at O’Leaver’s July 30 is now sold out. It took longer than I thought. I checked the ticketing website last night when I got home from work and tickets were still available. I hope they’re not going to pack us in like sardines.

What else…

Folkie singer/songwriter William Fitzsimmons is performing tonight at The Waiting Room with Ben Sollee. I know nothing about Fitzsimmons except (I think) he’s on Nettwerk. Check the video below from his most recent release, Lions. $15, 9 p.m.

Also tonight, legendary musician and songwriter Dereck Higgins is playing a set at The Barley Street Tavern with Bob Bucko Jr., and Two Drag Club. $5, 9 p.m.
