Heather Sawyer, aka Heather Hussy, plays November 10 at Mickey’s.

He always seems to get the word out kinda last-minute, but Midwest Beat guitarist/singer Matt Joyce has recently been hosting a sporadic series at Mickey’s Tavern called Em Jay’s Serious Singer Songwriter Series, which takes folks from local punk and garage-rock bands and gives them the solo spotlight. Next up, on Tuesday, November 10, Joyce and The Hussy drummer/singer Heather Sawyeraka Heather Hussy, will play both solo and collaborative sets. Which is exciting, because The Hussy’s last few releases, including the 2015 album Galore and a 2014 split with Digital Leather, have really seen Sawyer growing as a songwriter and lead vocalist, from her high-register belting on “EZ/PZ” to more solemn moments on “Darkness” and “My Bad.” Info
