SLCene Suggests: Milo Greene at Kilby Court

MILO GREENE, KILBY COURT, Saturday, Nov. 10, 8 p.m., $12

A clever bit of gamesmanship helped get Milo Greene a bit of buzz early on. A couple of guys named Robbie Arnett and Andrew Heringer were playing shows and not getting much of a crowd, so they created a “manager” named Milo Greene who would call venues to land them shows. The duo soon found that having another person–even though it was just one of them in disguise–working on their behalf got them better, bigger gigs. Now the two are in a band together, and they gave that band the name of that lucky, nonexistent manager. Milo Greene opened for the Civil Wars back in May, and their breezy boy-girl harmonies and folk-rock songs evoke California’s Laurel Canyon sound. The band’s self-titled debut arrived this summer, and earned them appearances on David Letterman’s show and some non-stop touring, including this show Saturday in Salt Lake City.
