Bill Toms & Hard Rain/Brian Lisik A mix of blues, soul and Americana, Good for My Soul, the latest effort from Bill Toms & Hard Rain features a collection of tunes that sound so familiar they could pass for standards.

He plays tonight at 8 at the Beachland Tavern. Local singer-songwriter Brian Lisik opens. Tickets cost $15.
