This San Francisco quintet formed ten years ago as an all-acoustic string band and recorded its first album live at the Freight & Salvage. A lot has changed since then, but not enough to alienate old fans: Limbs Akimbo, produced by the Mother Hips’ Tim Bluhm, introduces the band’s first drummer and a more rock-based sound that’ll fit better than ever on the festival circuit.
At the Great American Music Hall (859 O’Farrell St., San Francisco) on Sep. 11 and 12. 9 p.m., $20
