MT. RIGHTEOUS
(acoustic 11-piece pop orchestra / gleeful shouting / suburban Texas)
The 11-members of Mt. Righteous, who proudly hail from suburban Grapevine, Texas, comprise a collective that is equal parts pop confectionary and marching band. Currently in the midst of a mid-west tour, Mount Righteous bring their live show to Open Lot this coming Monday. http://www.mountrighteous.com/ "Eschewing stages when possible, the band immerses itself in its crowd, playing eye-level to the listeners. It allows for an incredibly intimate setting: On a certain level, seeing Mount Righteous perform feels no different than watching a pal play an acoustic guitar beside you on a couch or a stoop" - Pete Freedman, The Dallas Observer FLOWERS
(acoustic geetar / echoes of rural landscapes and lifestyles / STL + Columbia MO)
Flowers makes sparse, hazy, pretty folk music. Flowers is led by Terry Rice, with numerous collaborators elsewhere in Missouri.
