TONIGHT: Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women

Best definition of folk yet comes from Dave Alvin. He says there are two kinds, loud and quiet, and that he plays both. If you don't know the individual players in the Guilty Women you might guess their quiet show will dominate. Those who know steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar, know that she lives to swing. Expect similar feats of strength from bassist Sarah Brown, drummer Lisa Pankratz and Christy McWilson wailing country at its most soulful. Alvin will have his chance to spread out and fly well accompanied. Thu., Sept. 2, 7:30 p.m., $25, World Cafe Live, World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut Street, 215-222-1400, worldcafelive.com.
