Thursday, March 17th, will find The Court & Spark, prodigal suns, playingmusic for you at the lusty Hemlock Tavern, on Polk St, SF, in celebration of the wise and just St. Patrick. Wear green or get pinched. Also on this show are friends-of-nature The Skygreen Leopards Skyband and new-to-towners Winechuggers. The entry fee is a paltry $8. Get there early (9 PM), as the music room is quite intimate, and there are no presale tix. Consider it a pre-Spring fling.
