Farewell Drifters: Bluegrass Meets Pop at the Earlville Opera House
EARLVILLE – The Earlville Opera House welcomes the rising bluegrass quintet, the Farewell Drifters with their shimmering harmonies and disarmingly honest songwriting on Friday, March 18th, at 8 p.m. in the Arts Café.
“One of the most striking new bands in Bluegrass, a young Nashville based quintet, that plays with the intensity of Mountain Heart and the fire of the New Grass Revival, the Farewell Drifters, will be picking live…and, in the words of one gushing reviewer, “making folk music hip again.” Nashville Public Radio
The Nashville Review writes: “…this Nashville-based band has burst on to the acoustic scene at high-profile festivals like Grey Fox and MerleFest. The Farewell Drifters feature an acoustic lineup (two acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass) that serves as the perfect setting for their folk and pop sensibility… Their distinct lyrical talents lie in their ability to express progressive, universal ideas in an accessible way, and with their energetic, youthful presence they are part of a movement to expose a new generation of listeners to the honesty of acoustic music…harmonies are backed by a careful acoustic instrumentation with a bouncing rhythm, intricate guitar fingerpicking and a charming fiddle serenade that ties the song together.”
Their third and newest recording is Yellow Tag Mondays, which Paste Magazine describes: “fully embodies their upbeat spirit, tight harmonies and the nostalgic, homey twang of an all-string ensemble. The songs were written and tested out over the last two years; they tend to be personal, based on experiences or specific memories neatly tucked into acoustic string harmonies.”
The Farewell Drifters bring their “undeniable instrumental and vocal prowess” to the Earlville Opera House Arts Café Friday, March 18th. Tickets are $17, $15 members, $12 students. The Café will have reserved seating for this performance, and seating is limited to 50, so call early to reserve a seat! Delicious home baked desserts will be for sale, with hot and cold drinks. For more information, or to reserve your space: call EOH at 315-691-3550.
The Farewell Drifters is the second of four concerts in the spring EOH Arts Café Series, next up: On Sunday, April 3, a newly formed bluegrass quintet, The Beachley & Scott Band, headed by Darren Beachley & Barry Scott - two of Bluegrass Music’s perhaps most recognizable voices that have teamed up to form a new band. Collectively they spent 14 years under the tutelage of one of Bluegrass music’s greatest bands Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver (1996-2009) during its record setting run of seven-consecutive IBMA Vocal Group of the year awards. Finally on Saturday, May 7, the one part whiskey and two parts toil Americana music of the quartet McMule bring assured vocals, proletarian string band backing and a steady groove. They are renegade, full-tilt and funky. For more on the upcoming line up see www.earlvilleoperahouse.com.
Earlville Opera House events are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency, and through the generosity of Earlville Opera House members.
