6/7 Joy Kills Sorrow
Joy Kills Sorrow (Boston) returns with new music!
Plus special guest: Introducing from Tacoma, Kye Alfred Hillig
Abbey favorites from Boston return for one show only! Check out their fantastic videos on Youtube to get a taste. Emma and gang are a brilliantly talented young group with fun performances including upbeat bluegrass and emotional indie folk.
“Subtle and snazzy, this new jack acoustic outfit merges bluegrass with jazz like it was the most natural combination in the world. Meanwhile, singers and songwriters Emma Beaton and Bridget Kearney bring wry existential intelligence and a haunting, Celtic/Canadian interpretive quality to their delicate yet determined tales of contemporary dislocation and off-kilter love. Kind of like a more accessible, less pleased with themselves Nickel Creek, these are virtuoso art folkies who understand the value of being just folks, too.”
– Los Angeles Daily News (* * * ½ STARS)
