Bowerbirds @ KUT 4/11/12

April 11, 2012 2:30 pm by: Reid O'Conor

North Carolina folk trio Bowerbirds have always been about simple folk songs, attempting (and succeeding) to create new folk standards with their intricate three-part harmonies, guitar, violin, and drums - and that's it. With their latest album, The Clearing, the band has expanded on that simple recipe to include pianos, electric guitars, vibraphones, and more drums to create an altogether bigger, more grandiose sound.
