Jefrey Lewis and the Voltage play Orlando Wednesay

The Space Station is back in the concert business for a night! And what a concert — a rare Florida sojourn from antifolk maestro and comic artist Jeffrey Lewis. Expect a top-shelf evening of off-kilter, frantic and affecting songcraft, plus improvisatory storytelling that is leagues beyond most artists’ stage banter.

Except for Jonathan Richman, few do leftfield surrealist singer-songwriter wonderment as well as Lewis. (Also it’s utterly wild to think that Lewis has been at this DIY grind for around two decades.)

Opening are Grasping Straws, Mitar and Heady Alien.

Come out to support the venue if nothing else, because they may have to relocate from their current environs due to the high-speed gentrification of the “Packing District.”

8 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, The Space Station.
