The Lone Bellow are an articulate and emotionally intelligent roots rock group that came together after three Southerners pulled up stakes and moved to Brooklyn. Their music embraces the dynamics of bluegrass and gospel, the fire of rock & roll, and the passion of the blues while sharing tales of folks trying to make something of their lives, sometimes against long odds. The band earned major critical acclaim with their self-titled 2013 debut, and opted for a bigger, more explicitly country approach on 2017’s Walk Into a Storm before exploring more ambitious and experimental production on 2020’s Half Moon Light.
Opening for The Lone Bellow will be Indie duo Tall Heights.
Tall Heights was formed after Tim Harrington, on guitar, and Paul Wright, on cello, met busking on the streets of Boston back in the late 2000s. Several years and albums later - and in just the span of five months - they experienced a convergence of events that included major health and substance-abuse crises among their closest loved ones, saying goodbye to Harrington's grandfather and to a beloved grandfather figure for Wright, and - in far happier, yet still intense news - the announcement that each of their wives was expecting. Compounded by a series of shake-ups in their professional life, that upheaval coincided with the start of the pandemic. Rather than succumbing to the tremendous pressure of that point in time, Tall Heights chose to confront the chaos by creating within it. The result: “Juniors”, an album that precisely channels the pain, uncertainty, and unbridled joy of its inception.
