Today’s Top Tips for Live Music (July 29, 2021)

Best bet: Doctor Baker  @ The Linda, Albany.

Not the “acoustic duo” Doctor Baker of old, they are now a much louder five piece. Their sound evokes the Velvet Underground a bit, though is all their own at the same time. Comedian Michael Brigante opens the show. (8:00)
