Matthew Szlachetka, The Lowest Pair Live from Peach Street
Live From The Divide continues intimate performances this spring, celebrating the lineage and contemporary voice of the American Roots singer/songwriter. Here’s a look at just a few of the upcoming acts.
Americana/folk artist Matthew Szlachetka follows on Friday, May 25th at 9pm. Tickets are $20 plus fees. Doors at 8pm.
Named by Rolling Stone as one of the “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know,” Szlachetka (pronounced Sla-Het-Ka) draws your gaze back to a simpler time when music was less about stylized production and more about its experiential nature. His songwriting finds inspiration in the threads that connect us, weaving a tapestry of familiar moments that pay homage to the past while leaning into a future that promises both wonder and grace. Szlachetka’s sophomore album, Heart of my Hometown (produced by Grammy winning producer David Bianco), is set for release in early 2018.
Looking ahead, The Lowest Pair is set for a show on Tuesday, June 5th at 9pm. Tickets are $25 plus fees. Doors at 8pm.
Touring in continued support of their dual albums, Fern Girl and Ice Man and Uncertain as It Is Uneven, the duo features the banjo picking of Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee. The new records could be viewed as two windows into the growing and changing world of The Lowest Pair. Uncertain stays the course of their previous releases, being focused on stripped down, intimate arrangements to support their timeless songwriting and haunting vocals. Fern Girl is a more moody and adventurous exploration of new sounds, new studio production directions, and what it might sound like for The Lowest Pair to be supported by a full band, while keeping one foot planted in the rootsy aesthetics which drew them together from the beginning.
