Led by songwriter Alex Dezen, The Damnwells made their name in the 2000s with melodic, heartland-leaning rock and have kept a loyal following through years of indie releases. A show at Racket is a hometown-style night for longtime fans. If you like big choruses with a little twang, this is a solid Friday.
What to expect
A mid-size club with a standing floor, a bar and an intimate stage. Expect a full-band rock set heavy on sing-along choruses. Racket's room is small enough that the band feels close from anywhere on the floor.
