Great Lake Swimmers

Apparently no one is sick of the soft, dreamy love songs being churned out by so many beard-rock bands, all of which seem to hail from either the Midwest or Canada. Even the most jaded among us, though, will find the music of Great Lake Swimmers hard to resist ' especially now that summer is officially over and the cold weather is settling in, with no plans on leaving anytime soon. Most of the band's songs roll in slow and thick, and lull you right to sleep. Whether it's the plucking of the banjo or the gentle lyrics that tickle your heartstrings, Toronto's Swimmers will build a cozy atmosphere of tunes that'll make you feel warm and fuzzy at Johnny Brenda's (1201 Frankford Ave., 215-739-9684) tonight at 9 p.m., for $12. The beer might help you achieve that feeling, too, though.
