The Accidental Band Premieres Debut Album Middleville

New Bedford and Plymouth based Americana and Roots group The Accidental Band premieres their debut album, Middleville, on Saturday, March 28 on iTunes and at the band’s website, www.accidentalband.com. Two Album Release Concerts will be presented, on Saturday, March 28, 3 pm at Fay’s Restaurant, 613 Dartmouth Street, Dartmouth, and Friday, May 8, 9 pm at The New World Tavern, 56 Main Street, Plymouth.

Searching for that mythical destination where music lovers meet each other halfway, Middleville seamlessly blends Americana and Roots, touched by Folk and Bluegrass, rising to a new art form. Songwriters Butch McCarthy (guitar, piano and vocals), Angel Dombrowski (violin and vocals) and Steve Mazza (bass guitar) crafted 13 original songs inspired by early country/pop influences from the greats, including Hank Williams, Patsy Kline and The Everly Brothers. Bob Calderara (mandolin and vocals) and JB Borges (drums) round out the band’s full, complex sound, adding intricate harmonies bolstered by a driving beat.

Middleville’s title track takes to the open road, optimistically lyricizing about one last shot at happiness. Haunting songs of heartbreak follow with “Because of You” and “Petticoat Hill”, trickling through redemption with “Resurrect Me” and “True Blue Companion”, and contemplating playful love in “Huckleberry” and “California Calls”.

Formed in 2014 as a two-group musical coalition, The Accidental Band, is the blended concoction of The Accidentals and The Gentlemen of Leisure. Guest musicians on the album include Mike Lavoie on bass, Frankie Blandino on steel guitar and Chris Richards on slide guitar.

Middleville was recorded by Feedback Studio, produced by Ron Poitras and Butch McCarthy, mastered by John Mailloux of Bongo Beach Productions, released by Flatbubba Records, with album graphic design by Steve Leasure,

Admission to the Middleville Album Release Concert is free, space is limited to capacity. The album will be available on March 28 on iTunes, on the band’s website, and on site at the Middleville Album Release Concert.
