Vikesh Kapoor has his mastery of acoustic folk down to a science. For the last three years, the Pennsylvania transplant took to Portland’s usual grey skies smoothly in the further development of his songwriting and musicianship. Kind of like Portland’s own Iron & Wine, his music progresses in a similar manner to the beverage, only getting better and better as it ages with time.
"Down By The River" is the newest track to come from Kapoor. It’s beautiful in its simplicity, with Kapoor’s vocal delivery and strumming gently guiding the listener throughout the song. It’s a track perfect for a summer evening drive or being stuck inside all day watching the rain fall.
Vikesh Kapoor is officially dropping the single tonight at his show at the Beacon Sound, with accompanying sets from Haley Heynderickx and Claire Puckett of the Austin, Tx orchestral indie band Mother Falcon. The all-ages show starts at 8pm and is just $10.
