Local honky-tonk quintet the Doc Marshalls is playing behind its recentish album, Honest for Once. It finds frontman Nicolas Beaudoing & Co. hitting several high notes; Beaudoing's roots were pulled out of the border dirt between Texas and Louisiana, and both flavors come through in his crisp songwriting and singing. Also on the bill is local songwriter Alana Amram—daughter of Beat-music icon David Amram—who pays homage to local ’50s Greenwich Village folk icon Vince Martin on her band's latest, Snow Shadows: Songs of Vince Martin.
