In celebration of the 2014 conference of the U.S. branch of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music, CSAS will host a free catered reception this Thursday evening with local favorites Bevel Summers. Here’s how ReverbNation describes the band:
Bevel Summers performs with the philosophy of quick draw pistoleer the Sundance Kid from the famed 60’s post-modern Western: “I’m better when I move.” Likening comparisons from Johnny Cash to The Wailers to Fleetwood Mac and back, the band’s choruses seem to burst through the confines of whatever hole-in-the-wall joint or basement they’re playing, and you might feel, for an instant, as if you’re on a back porch in the middle of the woods, the sounds of fiddle, summer crickets, lush harmonies, and the plink of guitar strings melding so effortlessly. At their core, these songs were borne of the blues, but in their live incarnation, Bevel Summers is joyful. This is what youth feels like — the highs and the lows, and the late nights full of whiskey and music in between.
