The band Lonesome Shack will slam the Red Bike with a smorgasbord of raw postwar blues on Friday. The show begins at 8:30 p.m.

The band is fronted by Seattle guitarist and vocalist Ben Todd. Todd grew up in New Mexico and Arizona, where he worked on original music inspired by vintage blues artists like Memphis Minnie. He moved to Seattle in 2006 and began learning how to build and repair guitars. There, he met percussionist Kristian Garrard, and the two released the albums “Bound to Die” and “Slidin Boa” as a duo.

Since then, bassist Luke Bergman has joined the blues and boogie band. Expect a gritty, clanky, primitive groove.

The show is all ages until 11 p.m. and 21 and over only after that.
