Nouveau Expo + Danny Jonokuchi and Friends + Bless + The Disfunction @ The Way Station

8pm- Nouveau Expo
Genre: Indie/Pop
For fans of:  Vampire Weekend/Arcade Fire/Andrew Bird/Feist

Hailing from San Francisco, CA Nouveau-Expo brings listeners a quirky blend of indie-pop music. The duo’s release of These Woods, the bands first LP, gave a distinct sound that left listeners wanting more. With dueling vocals and on point beats, the guitar and piano blends complement their sound and bring it full circle. Through lyrics that touch a dozen landscapes, Nouveau-Expo’s songwriting remains modern, with an appreciation for its influences. With comparisons often drawn to Vampire Weekend and Arcade Fire, Nouveau Expo hopes to continue a rigorous touring schedule to allow more fans to enjoy their music.

"[Danny Jonokuchi's] band is quite flexible in their delivery of these well crafted arrangements, showing that good jazz doesn’t have to be all improvisation as much as inspiration." -George W. Harris (JazzWeekly)
