Hey all, we’re going to be hosting two class act local bands on the show this evening! The first of which is Honeymoon.
Recalling the likes of Dawn Landes, Alela Diane and Feist, this bay area quartet’s multi-harmony take on indie-folk has caught on like wildifre ever since the band began performing together last year. The group’s profile has seen itself rise as they have opened for the likes of David Gray, Jackie Green, and Ray LaMontagne among others. The group released 2010′s After The Flood EP to a rapturous welcoming at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur, and have more to come in 2011.
Tune in tonight to hear Honeymoon talk about their meteoric rise in the folk music world, preview some brand new unreleased music and talk about their upcoming tour with the Truth & Salvage Co. which will be kicked off with a performance at the Fernwood Lodge in Big Sur this Saturday night.
Also on the show this evening, Birdhouse.
Birdhouse make no bones about their sound: They are devoted acolytes of The Grateful Dead. In fact, the group began as a Dead tribute band back in 2009. However, along the way, the group began writing their own songs and building a grassroots fan base that has followed them loyally as they’ve gone on to perform at various venues around the city of Santa Cruz, most recently a star-making performance out at the Brookdale Lodge.
Tune in tonight to hear from Birdhouse as they perform a special acoustic set in our studio, answer our questions about what 2011 holds, and tell us about their upcoming performance opening up for Ploughman in the Catalyst Atrium on saturday night.
These and more if you tune in to The Rising Tide tonight at 8:30pm on KZSC Santa Cruz. 88.1fm or listen online at www.kzsc.org!
