When local guitarist Jeff Fielder was hired by silky-sweet Scottish vocalist Isobel Campbell to contribute to her latest project with Mark Lanegan, his life took some pretty dramatic turns for the better. Campbells starkly contrasting collaborator took an instant liking to Fielders versatility as a player and laterafter several European tourstheir shared sense of humor as traveling companions. Tonights show will not only mark the Neptune Theaters maiden voyage as a music venue, but the first time the two men have occupied a Seattle stage without the accompaniment of any other musicians. Expect a broad and deep survey of Lanegans back catalog, including a nod to his grunge-era incarnation within the Screaming Trees. With Sean Wheeler, Zander Schloss. HANNAH LEVIN
