Celebrating the upcoming release of Lo & Behold (Cantora, October 11, 2011), the follow-up to last year’s Downed Economy, Boston native Emil Hewitt, now a Williamsburgian who fronts Emil & Friends, will lead the band in the final night of its September residency at Piano’s on Thursday night at 9:00. The new record ranges from fresh, bright pop to funky R&B to fashionable indie rock on such tracks as “Crystal Ball,” “Prescriptions,” and “Lo & Behold.” On “Endless Waves,” the band says “hello,” and you can do the same at this show that says goodbye to summer and their residency. Also on the bill are Fort Lean (8:00), Echo-Friendly (10:00), and Thunder and Lightning (11:00).
