Honey Island Swamp Band
Narrows Center for the Arts 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MAFriday, August 16, 2024 Doors 7pm | Show 8pm The Honey Island Swamp Band are a thrilling, eclectic band that defies genre conventions, renders song structures elastic, and wholeheartedly stresses that the song reigns supreme. Since they formed in 2005 in San Francisco after their displacement from New Orleans via Katrina — and subsequently relocated back home — the band has evolved to embody contemporary roots music. If you’re wondering where the numerous streams of American sounds coalesce and commingle in the modern scene, look no further. And the fivesome — bandleader and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Wilkinson, guitarist and vocalist Lee Yankee, bassist Sam Price, keyboardist Chris Spies, and drummer and vocalist Garland Paul — is about to release their most satisfying, consolidative album to date: Custom Deluxe, out June 23 on Color Red Music.
