Weekly Feature: Big Wilson River – live at The Deli’s B.E.A.F. Rootsy Stage on 05.24

Reaching instant intensity with the dual night and day vocals of Darrin Bradbury and Emma McLaughlin, Big Wilson River have charged up thrash-folk streaming out from under them. The band released “Octopus” in 2011, showcasing their 90’s alternative influences and blues sensibilities in a major way. Songs like “Hemingway Had a Cat” and “Dandelion” highlight the band’s ability to engage listeners with screams and punches, both literal and sonic, especially with lyrics claiming to “drunk dial God.” – See Big Wilson Riverlive at the upcoming Deli NYC B.E.A.F. on 05.24 at Spike Hill – Read Devon Antonetti’s interview with the band here.
