Following three world tours backing the legendary Joan Baez, the New York born and bred duo appears live at Sycamore on Saturday, 6/9, with special guest Mamie Minch.
Chisel down into the asphalt cacophony of New York, and deep in the bedrock you’ll come upon Kill Henry Sugar. Poised astride the epic timeline of life in the boroughs, Erik Della Penna and Dean Sharenow sketch moody musical portraits with what the Village Voice calls, “Cinematic gravitas.” Their ethic is subtle lines by modest means, employing a signature palette of drums, dobro, and voice to construct petulant yankee poetry—more Serpico than Grapes Of Wrath, more Olmstead than Moses.
