UK-transplant Ben Todd has made a career out of playing washed-out, white-guy indie blues ala The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion with his group Lonesome Shack. Tonight he brings the band to the Siren's Song at 8 p.m. to celebrate the release of its most recent and possibly most ambitious record yet, Desert Dreams (price TBA). Local country/folk rockers Cold Light of Day starts the fun.
