A cold night in the studio warmed with a big set for Buddy Holly, who died 56 years ago this week.
It fit in fine with some new music by the Decemberists, Belle & Sebastian and Sleater-Kinney, and sets from the Bottle Rockets and Marshall Crenshaw, who shared the stage at the Birchmere tonight.
Closed out with a bunch of Evan Dando and the Lemonheads in advance of his show at the Black Cat Sunday.
