THE WEATHER STATION IN CONCERT:
Canadian folk traditionalists The Weather Station marry heavenly melodies and exquisite fingerpicking to create a sound that transports listeners to a simpler time. Tamara Lindeman is the mastermind behind each poetic word and beautifully sung note, and audiences will be enraptured right from the start by her graceful guitar and banjo playing. Lindemanís backing band fleshes out her unencumbered arrangements with drums, double bass, and distant-sounding harmonies, inviting listeners to get caught up in the same peaceful vibe that radiates from the ensemble on stage. With favorites like ìSeemed Trueî, ìMule in the Flowersî, and ìYarrow and Mintî, The Weather Station give ticket buyers a piece of serenity that will last long after the showís over.
