Misner and Smith will return to The Melon Ball this February for more music and fun! This time, California native folk singer Gwyneth Moreland will bring her talents too!
With soaring vocal harmonies and story-filled, poetic songwriting – Misner & Smith’s sound hearkens back to the bedrock of modern American rock & folk. Paying tribute to strong influences like Simon & Garfunkel, The Band, and Buffalo Springfield, they invent a sound all their own, seducing listeners with music that captures longing and belonging in the same moment. Their partnership in music is a search for meaning. The songs yearn for connection, ache for understanding, relish in mystery, and rejoice in creation. In a world that often feels to be crumbling down around us, they dig deep, and find hope in simple things, in the beauty that surrounds us all.
Moreland doesn’t hesitate to admit that she loves the old-timey three-part harmonies. With the right voices, it is a great sound. Gwyneth plays often with multi-instrumentalist David Hayes (bassist on many Van Morrison LP’s), and Morgan Daniel (Ms. Moreland’s brother) on guitar in addition to Gene Parsons (former Byrds-Flying Burrito Brothers) on pedal steel, banjo, and harmony vocals.
Join us on February 10th for and evening of folk, fun, and food!
Tickets are only $20 in advance, or $22 at the door.
