INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK
Tuesday 03/11
A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH BALMORHEA
Ambient chamber music from the Americana heartland
Balmorhea is a town and a state park in Texas, and it's the inspiration behind a quartet of the same name. They've taken the dictum, "quiet is the new loud" to heart in a soft melodic brand of instrumental rock with piano, classical strings, acoustic guitars and the occasional banjo and Telecaster. They've released critically acclaimed albums including their latest CD, Rivers Arms. Balmorhea comes into the Echoes Living Room to play live.
