IF YOU LIKE classic or southern rock, WATCH Patrick Sweany TIME/LOCATION Zephyr Pub, 10 p.m.-1 a.m. Patrick Sweany's bluesy vocals sound like a combination of Van Morrison and Creedence Clearwater Revival. IF YOU LIKE acoustic folk, WATCH Ashley Brooke Toussant TIME/LOCATION Scribbles Coffee, 8-9 p.m. -or- WATCH Rachel Roberts TIME/LOCATION Acorn Alley, 3-5 p.m. Both of these girls sound like Joni Mitchell mixed with a little bit of Alanis Morissette and a pinch of Jewel. IF YOU LIKE acoustic pop, WATCH Justin Miller TIME/LOCATION Last Exit Books, 2-4 p.m. In his sweet and silky-smooth voice, Justin Miller sounds a little like Dashboard Confessional and Howie Day. IF YOU LIKE bluegrass, WATCH The Walkies TIME/LOCATION Zephyr Pub, 9-10 p.m. The instruments are definitely bluegrass, but the songs sound really punk. It's an interesting new twist on an old style of music. IF YOU LIKE post-punk, WATCH Red Beard TIME/LOCATION The Robin Hood, 11 p.m. Red Beard sounds a lot like The Killers, but less electronic sounding.
