If you live far away in LA it may not be easy to track down
Cambridge’s Session Americana, so you would enjoy Dave Alvin and The
Flatlanders, who are touring the Southwest by train. The Flatlanders
are a legendary roots trio from Lubbock, TX. Member Jimmie Dale
Gilmore had a short memorable scene in The Big Lebowski when he was
threatened while bowling by John Goodman. Alvin first achieved fame
in The Blasters. The combination sounds wonderful. Maybe CrashARTS
can get them to South Station.

Session Americana has a web site
http://www.sessionamericana.com/index.php?page=calendar
and that suggests they are practicing until October 17 when they play
in Quincy, Ma.

Here is the LA Times piece.
