We've got a really gorgeous line-up of live music scheduled for the coming weeks, including some artists we haven't seen for a while. We'll be posting more info about all of that this week, but I just wanted to get a quick reminder out there today about the show with Icarus Drifting this Friday evening (the 22nd) at 7:00pm.
Here's the text from the facebook event listing:
We are SO happy & excited to have Eric Cox, Pat Zyduck and Hannah Benton of Icarus Drifting at Stumpjack this Friday night. These musicians are really fantastic...the last time Icarus Drifting played the Stump it was such an experience, so rich, so dynamic...it was one of the more memorable musical experiences we've had. The line-up for this Friday's show is a little abbreviated from their last performance here (these guys do ha...ve regular jobs too I guess...go figure!)...but they have added a new vocalist with Hannah Benton, and Eric has very high praise for her...so we're super excited about hearing the new sound.
This is from their website, and I can tell you that it is absolutely true, in spades...they do create an experience:
Icarus/Drifting is a concert band. Whether performing acoustically at the local coffee house or plugging in on the biggest festival stages, every show is crafted to be a sonic experience like none other. We’ve built our reputation on bringing a great deal more than just our collection of songs to the stage each night – audiences demand more these days. In order to compete as an original band, we’ve learned that we must give people something they crave more than songs they already know… We give them a band they can believe in, create an atmosphere that defies the confines of the daily grind, and offer an experience they can dive into and feel a part of. Audiences demand this kind of passion and honesty – and we possess these most essential elements in spades.
