Ambrose Way at fooBar Tonight 12.4

It’s Thursday, meaning that Palaver Records has its weekly showcase at fooBar too. We’ve come to trust in the label’s consistent ability to curate an entertaining lineup of local and touring acts week after week to the point that we will scope out the bands even if we can’t make it to the show. This has lead our attention to Nashville quartet Ambrose Way. A listen to the track "She Walks Alone" shows a keen handle on vocal harmonies rivaling The Beach Boys. Their style is wrought with acoustic guitars, their introspective meanderings puncuated by ocassional banjo or piano. Think The Shins or Dodos goofing off and channeling Simon and Garfunkel. We’re keeping these guys on deck for when the winter weather gets gnarly and we need to hear something that reminds us of spring. -Terra James-Jura
