Doug Gillard

Robert Pollard collaborator Doug Gillard—a very able indie-popsmith, whose bittersweet, nimbly wordy work draws meaningfully on the likes of Elvis Costello—celebrates a new LP, Parade On. Casper and the Cookies, Lame Drivers and Hartwell Littlejohn open Apr 5 at Cake Shop, and White Lighters, Workout and Dear Comrade open at Glasslands on Apr 8.
