Icarus/Drifting & Lillie Lemon

This Friday, May 14 at 7:00pm the alternative rock band Icarus/Drifting will perform at Stumpjack. This is from their website (sounds pretty darn intriguing):

Somewhere between sediment and sky, the elements that comprise the sound of Icarus/Drifting unite. Founded in 2006 by singer/songwriter Eric Cox, Icarus/Drifting has garnered a reputation as one of the most unique, powerful, and passionate acts to take the stage in recent memory.  Cox - a lyrical disciple of influences ranging from Neil Young through Bono, Eddie Vedder, and Ray Lamontagne - began the group with a bold premise in mind:  A band that could blur the edges between folk, rock, blues, indie, and classical music;  A band with a distinctive sound – singular and inimitable;  A band grounded in lyrics and melody, lifted by the sonic grace of a violin and propelled by the driving rhythms of guitar, bass, and drums. The result is a virtual tour de force on the modern music scene.

Saturday, May 15 at 7:00pm will see the return of one of our favorite fun-time bands, Lillie Lemon. Three reviews from the CDBaby site:

"Lillie Lemon gives the music world a sour twist with an inventive and emotionally honest approach to her sound. Experience the voice adored by "Lemonheads" everywhere. The definition of bliss. Such a fun, personable, outstanding musical group that entertains and plays their hearts out."

"Delicate soulful vocals that are so captivating, you keep coming back for more. Be forewarned, once you hear "Nobody to Thank" once or twice, you might find it stuck in your head for days. This entire album shows a group with much promise to go far. It immediately jumped to the top of my favorite playlist."

"This initial effort by these most tallented artists provokes the mundance into quiet bliss. Folks, get ready to meld into the next O'conner and Bjork combined. A must try."
