Folk rock in Hawley

HAWLEY, PA — A favored ethereal folk-rock duo among music lovers of all ages, Barnaby Bright, returns to Harmony Presents on Saturday, March 21 at 8 p.m. The duo features haunting vocals, harmonium, banjo, ukulele, floorboard bass and thumb pianos. Barnaby Bright’s EP Gravity was named one of the top 100 records of the year by Amazon.com, and has garnered comparisons to the Indigo Girls, The Civil Wars and The Weepies.

Steve Morse, longtime critic at the Boston Globe, Billboard Magazine and Rolling Stone says, “Honestly, I haven’t felt this good at a folk-rock gig since seeing the Indigo Girls in their prime. Barnaby Bright has a graceful, uplifting energy reminiscent of the Indigos, but also has a virtuosity that is extremely unique. Becky can be festive but also sings with a mesmerizing stateliness that evokes Mary Fahl of the October Project at times, while Nate’s vocals and guitar playing are gifted and creative throughout. They have a special chemistry that helps erase cynicism while giving hope that the best is yet to come.”

The show will take place at the Boiler Room in the Hawley Silk Mill at 8 Silk Mill Dr. Ticket prices range from $16 to $22. Tickets can be purchased in advance online at www.harmonypresents.com or in person at AMSkier Insurance Agency located at 209 Main Ave. Call 570/588-8077.
