Live Photos: Miss Erika Davies and Brian Karscig at 3rd Space, November 19, 2011

The November installment of Sight and Sound went off on Saturday night at University Heights’ 3rd Space. As you might expect from the reliably classy event series, there was plenty to keep people entertained, including free massages, face painting, art, booze, and crepes. And because the night wouldn’t have been complete without music, a pair of local heavyweights were on hand to serve up some tunes.

Following a set by a beatboxer named Generik (probably not the type of lead-in she’s accustomed to), Miss Erika Davies took to the stage with her trustee band. Together, the trio — which included Gary Hankins on guitar and Christopher Carroll on drums — treated the crowd to songs from her gorgeous full-length, Galaxy Lakes.

Next, Nervous Wreckords frontman/Owl and Bear tee-shirt owner Brian Karscig unfurled some laid-back country ditties. The songs bore little resemblance to the rock-and-roll glitz of his normal band, but the intimate setting at 3rd Space proved an ideal setting for him to show off his twangy side.

The Habitat House proved an ideal setting for Miss Erika Davies‘ CD-release show on Sunday. The intimacy of the living room venue lent itself perfectly to the raw emotion of Davies’ incredible voice as she treated the crowd to songs from her SDMA-nominated Galaxy Lakes LP. Backed by a rotating cast of musicians that included regulars Gary Hankins and Chris Carroll, Tri Gadjo members Aaron Mahn and Jeremy Eikam, and her own sister Katy, Davies demonstrated once again why she’s one of San Diego’s brightest stars.

In addition to her SDMA nomination, Davies is currently competing to be one of five San Diegans to appear on NBC’s hit reality show The Voice. You can vote for her on Thursday, July 21 here. In the meantime, check out some photos and video of Sunday’s show below. Continue reading…
