CONTEST: Dan Auerbach at Metro

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Mar 4, 2009 4:55PM

2009_03_auerbach.jpg Dan Auerbach's full-time gig is blowing out eardrums with meaty blues licks in the The Black Keys. In his off time though, Auerbach settles back into a more reflective phase in his solo work, as showcased in the recently released Keep It Hid. Don't worry, it's not some namby-pamby folksy record singer-with-a guitar record -- Auerbach knows his primary weapon is buried in the wiring to his distortion pedal -- but it does allow him a bit more breathing room than his day gig usually affords.

Auerbach comes through Chicago Friday night for a stop at The Metro and we have a pair of tickets for one lucky reader! Enter by 3 p.m. today for your chance to win after the jump! Congratulations to Allison for winning the tickets!

Friday, March 6, Metro, 3730 N Clark, 9 p.m., $20, 18+
