The Virginia-born, Portland-based Heather Lynn celebrates her new album with a full band and support from two of Maine’s leading songmakers.
Virginia-born songwriter Heather Lynn creates music that melds humor, nostalgia, vulnerability, with roots in nature, and her love for the sounds of Appalachia. With a deep love of curiosity, Heather’s songs move through different genres and textures. Her latest release Narrows features seven songs reminiscent of classic folk fingerstyle tunes, indie rock anthems, and pining solo ballads. Her performances have been compared to the likes of Patsy Cline, Weyes Blood, and Feist.
Modern Friendship is a Portland, Maine based band whose material ranges sonically from guitar driven indie rock to stomping acoustic romps. The band’s material lyrically echoes the melancholy of young adulthood, love made, love lost, and friendship in between. Their debut album, Truth in the Garden, is reverberant, layered and sparkling, complemented by glitching shoegaze lead guitar and background vocal harmony from the band. Consisting of bassist Nicholas Thompson-Brown, drummer Alex Ouellette, lead guitarist Jimmy Dority, and lead vocal and rhythm guitarist Anthony Branca, Modern Friendship play songs that confront the battlegrounds of young adulthood in the 2020s.
Angular and genre-bending, Oodelally draws influences from folk rock, fiddle music, and classic punk. With love songs featuring fictional adulterers to songs mourning the process of aging, their lyricism is as dynamic as their ever-changing and unique instrumentation. Powerful and captivating vocal melodies shine above a tight rhythm section and electric violin and guitar riffage, developing their own musical language that stuns listeners. Oodelally features the angelic Summit Colman on guitar/voice/flute/accordion, the merry Gabriel Ballard on guitar/voice, the elusive Francesca Houran on electric violin, the mischievous Annie Dodson on bass, and the tender Hunter Coleman on drums.
