DARLINGSIDE – Music Friday

MUSIC FRIDAY – Enjoy the unique sound of this New England-based alternative melodic string-rock quintet. I actually just made up that classification but it fits! Airy cello and violin lines meet tight harmonies and “rootsy” acoustic rhythm when these guys get going! Cellist/guitarist/vocalist Harris Paseltiner chats by phone from the road, where Darlingside has spent the bulk of 2010 and 2011 spreading the vibe organically and independently! Recent winners at PickTheBand.com, they’ll be on SXSW’s Stage on Sixth later this month!
