Parade Grounds + Nathan Leigh + The Travelers + Michael Drabik w/ Rory Duffy @ The Way Station

Live Music: May 6, 2015, 8pm-12am, The Way Station, 683 Washington Ave, BK, http://waystationbk.blogspot.com/ $5 suggested donation

8pm- Parade Grounds
Genre: AMERICANA
For fans of: NEIL YOUNG, DELTA SPIRIT, BUDDY HOLLY

We’re a group of close friends that like to play music together. We like to sing a lot, meet new people and other musicians. We play because we have a good time doing it and want others to share in that experience. We like to blend vocal harmony styles of 50’s and 60’s pop with the traditional storytelling and heartbreak of folk music.

“A self-titled release consisting of seven musical gems, the band is set on creating music that is raw with emotion and topped with an indie/folk sound” Indie Shuffle

9pm- Nathan Leigh and the Travelling Salesmen
Genre: Indie folk
For fans of: The Mountain Goats, Andrew Bird, Tim Kasher, David Bazan

Somewhere between loud raucous folk music and delicately hushed punk rock, Nathan Leigh and the Travelling Salesmen merge a uniquely eclectic sound with captivating storytelling. Songs vary from sing-along political anthems to deeply personal stories of loss and hardship set to guitars, saxophones, and found percussion. After a 5 month US tour, the band has been holed up in Brooklyn working on their next album Ordinary Eternal Machinery, set to be released this summer.
Quotes from the press not from your mom:

“’Icarus’ benefits from Nathan Leigh’s generally clever lyrics and tangy score — a little Weill, a little Mumford.” - Scott Heller, The New York Times

“’A Life in Transit’ is a songbook for our time. Beneath the highs and lows is an undercurrent of resilience and optimism for the future and all the opportunities that the open road has to offer.” - Patrick Widdess, Delusions of Adequacy

Our music is a mix of jazz, blues, and hip hop. We have a flute, and the faith of a mustard seed. A flute! We’ll take you places in the universe you’ve never been.
