Sunday's typically not the big night for rock 'n' roll in Hampton Roads. But there's something happening on a Sabbath in late June that grabbed my attention. Two local bands I'm digging -- the jump blues combo Rylo and art popsters Little Trooper -- will play The Naro Theater on June 29 along with a group I hadn't heard of until tonight: Marshall Costan and The Awesome Few. These guys from Richmond play folky rock with a shot of soul. Marshall's voice is clear and strong and his songwriting is sharp. Sounds like they'll be the perfect band to bridge the indie pop of Little Trooper with the gritty, rockabilly blues of Rylo. Check out the songs on Marshall's MySpace page. They're gooood.
