The VIA is beyond excited to have these talented musicians perform at our May Farmers Market, the opening of another WONDERFUL season! This amazing duo revels in lilting melodies, tight harmonies, and compelling rhythms that make toes tap and bodies sway. Original homegrown organic indie-folk songs written by Haze are interspersed among covers both familiar and obscure. The duo skips nimbly from folk-pop to alt-country to roots-rock, creating a homegrown organic sound with upright bass, acoustic guitar, piano, shaker, tambourine, and mouth horn. What a great way to start off the season!
