Sweet Wednesday and Hummingbird Syndicate in Concert at Dedham Square Coffeehouse Friday April 29th 2016 8:30 - 10:30 PM.

Dedham Square Coffeehouse 565 High Street Dedham MA 02026 781-326-5674 www.dedhamsquarecoffeehouse.com free live music, beer, wine, dinner.

Two excellent folk/rock bands sharing the evening out in Dedham Square- expect beautiful, hummable, danceable songs (both originals and some fun covers), and plenty of collaboration.

Singer/songwriters Dave Falk and Lisa Housman (Sweet Wednesday), alternate lead vocal duties, with sweet harmonies reminiscent of Gram Parsons and Emmy Lou Harris. They'll be joined by their band, including the wonderful Marty White on bass, and the fantastic Mateo Gold on drums.

In addition to inspiring fans near and far, Sweet Wednesday have been recipients of several songwriting awards, including First Place in the Great American Song Contest, First Place in the Dallas Songwriting Competition, and Runner-Up in the John Lennon Song Contest.

"Think about the last time you received an unexpected and totally delightful gift. That’s just how I felt when I heard the music of Sweet Wednesday. You’ll forgive the gushing when you hear the alt-country, folk, roots sound of the Boston-based duo known individually as Dave Falk and Lisa Housman. I didn’t think musicians made music this addictive anymore."
– Nancy Dunham, MTV Partner Ourstage

"Housman truly recalls Merchant in her 10,000 Maniacs prime, and her voice absolutely soars."
–Stacey Zering, No Depression

“Vital roots music of the very best kind”
– Freddy Celis, Roots Time Magazine

“Rarely have I encountered such incredible talent!”
– Judges, Great American Song Contest

Hummingbird Syndicate -

The Mamas and the Papas led to The Archies led to ABBA. The Byrds led to Buffalo Springfield led to The Flying Burrito Brothers. The Velvet Underground and Nico led to Eno and Roxy. Ray Price led to George Jones (we like Tammy too).
We present Hummingbird Syndicate.
Our spin on all that.

"The Syndicate is built around an equal partnership of men and women with their merger of voices and three guitars. It’s a lot of wonderful songs with a guitar solo here and there, and a vibe that’s both sprightly and distinctly beautiful "

-Harry Tuniese, The Noise (Review of live show)

"Think of The Byrds, The Hollies and Jefferson Airplane and you’ve got an idea where this excellent group of talented veterans is coming from."

-Douglas Sloane, Metronome Magazine
