Listening to Liz & the Lost Boys is like sitting down to lunch with a good friend. It’s the complete openness and honesty that shines in Liz Ciavolino’s lyrics, carried on gentle harp strings. The music does not overpower, despite the layered and varying sounds coming from not only Ciavolino – who’s accomplished on both the harp and piano – but from her Lost Boys, who provide the melodic breeze her vocals float on. The night is a celebration of the band’s new album, their eponymous debut. Prior to their performance, local acts Anjuli Josephine, a soulful bluesy-pop crooner, and Son Step, multi-styled experimental rock, will take the stage.
