Mechanical Bull

Tess’ Lark Tavern, Thursday

With their newly released second CD, A Million Yesterdays, Ulster County-based country act Mechanical Bull seem poised to break through to a mainstream audience. The group, led by guitarist-vocalist Chase Pierson and singer Avalon Peacock, recorded Yesterdays over the summer at Pierson’s home in the Woodstock area, and the result is a charmingly organic and commercially viable disc with lyrics that occasionally tread the fine line between stupid and clever. Regional guitar-slinger David Malachowski provides some tasty licks, and famed Hammond organist John Medeski guests on one track, making it a bit of an all-star affair. Joining the band for a country-riffic evening at Tess’ place are New York-based artist Erin Sax Seymour and new local talent Jesse Stewart. (Nov. 8, 9 PM, $5, 453 Madison Ave., Albany, 463-9779)
