Chris Acker heads to Permanent Records Roadhouse in Cypress Park for a Sid The Cat-presented bill that also names Nikolai Shveitser and Jonny Fritz. The evening is billed as Chris Acker with Nikolai Shveitser and Jonny Fritz, with Acker listed as the lead artist. The listing highlights “Gran Turismo” as Acker’s top track and notes that the event is for audiences 21 and over.
Chris Acker is described in the listing as a New Orleans songwriter whose songs are candid, weaving “wit and woes” into the work. Its brief introduction frames that candor against “a genre full of tall tales and marketable lies,” but does not specify a musical formation, further collaborators, recordings beyond the highlighted track, or any critical reception. The available event information gives no additional biography for Nikolai Shveitser or Jonny Fritz. It does not identify any other musicians in Acker’s own performing setup in the listing.
Permanent Records Roadhouse folds a live-music room, full bar, and working record shop into one Cypress Park stop. The front room’s wood paneling, checkerboard floor, and red booths frame a stage, so you can settle in with a drink and browse records before the set; shows share the space with comedy and DJ events. Behind the bar, a separate converted garage holds more vinyl, including bargain crates, while a patio offers room to step outside. Some show nights bring a taco stand, though food is not guaranteed. The former Cafe NELA building gives the place a link to a long-running local music room, now paired with Permanent Records’ crate-digging identity. It is at 1906 Cypress Avenue, and entry is 21 and over. Check DICE for tickets and show details.
