Hola Music Fans,

OK so my new favorite band is the Canadian folk rockers Whitehorse. whitehorsemusic.ca

At the heart of the band is the married (ain't love grand!) duo of Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet.

The new album is called "The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss" (superb album name!) and it was released last month as a follow-up to the self-titled 2011 debut.

I can't wait to see and hear Melissa and Luke do their thing live on Friday night at Empire.

Here's the scoop:
WHEN: Friday, February 22 at 8 p.m. 

WHERE: Empire Dine & Dance, 575 Congress St., Portland

HOW MUCH: $8, 21-plus show

INFO: portlandempire.com

P.S. The Ghost of Paul Revere open the show

Now here's FIVE reasons why I love Whitehorse. See you Friday night?

1. "Mismatched Eyes (Boat Song)"

2. "Emerald Isle"

3. "Devil's Got a Gun"

4. "Jane"

5. Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe"
