Catch the CD of the Month winners The Highway this Friday at Tommy Doyle’s in Harvard Square!
It wasn’t mentioned in the CD of the Month review, but you can stream their entire album over at their Myspace page. So check out the review, and then go catch up on their music so you can sing along with them. Furthermore, it should be noted that the band does not disappoint live. Their recorded music is represented brilliantly in their performances (they nail those oft-complex vocal harmonies, which can be such a trouble spot for even technically adept musicians), their sets are sometimes laced with impromptu soloing and jams, and their good nature and humor shine through and warm the room.
They play with Portland, Oregon’s Archeology. Archeology’s earthy, rolling folk is full of peaks and valleys, by turns exciting and quietly captivating. They hit sweet pockets of melody and mood and sound like a grounded foil for The Highway’s psychedelia, while still sharing much of the same ground. A great bill.
