The City of Norfolk folks who organize the Discovery Music Series at the Attucks Theatre have hit another home run. Looking at a press release announcing a set of 10 concerts coming this fall I briefly thought I was hallucinating ... Billy Bragg? Mark Kozelek from Red House Painters? Otis Taylor?
Are you kidding me?
They're not kidding. While it seems almost too good to be true, this set of indie, roots and blues performers is in keeping with the Discovery tradition. The series has previously brought the Avett Brothers, Rhett Miller, Hem, Greg Brown, Josh Ritter and The Holmes Brothers. They're amassing quite a track record.
Here's a quick look at the fall schedule. A 10-show series subscription is available now for $140 through Ticketmaster and Scope's box office. Individual shows go on sale Aug. 15. Advance tickets to all the shows are $20, $15 for students.

Henry Butler -- Sept. 20
Sharrie Williams -- Oct. 4
Bowerbirds -- Oct. 11
Joe Bonamassa -- Oct. 18
