Ratboys

Chicago indie rock band Ratboys pairs crunchy guitars and infectious melodies with touches of alt-country and power pop. Led by singer-songwriter Julia Steiner, the group visits Lexington following the release of its sixth album, “Singin’ to an Empty Chair,” which moves between candid introspection, playful experimentation and sprawling guitar-driven arrangements. Smidley opens.
