Pretend Sweethearts are the duo formerly known as Vagabond and Tramp, made up of Brianna Lynn and Drew de Man. Their debut EP, I'm with You, is an easygoing, country-tinged trove of orchard-ripe tunes, guided by acoustic guitars and Lynn's striking, cloudless voice. It's a sweet and reassuring listen, covering a breadth of Americana styles without spreading itself too thin. Highlights include the meditative "Of the Sun" and the stripped-down, delicately gorgeous "Honey, Please Rain," which features Lynn and de Man harmonizing to remarkable effect. Tonight they perform an EP release show, joined by the Moonshine from Portland, and the Marshall McLean Band from Spokane. NED LANNAMANN
