Elkhound, Molly Alphabet, Jenny and the Jags, Bryan McQuaid
When: Sat., Nov. 3, 6 p.m. 2018
Sat., Nov. 3 — Folk
Local folk-band Elkhound has been touring and releasing snippets of its music for years, but is only now releasing their first full-length album Along the Highway with a show at Capital Cathedral. The sound is a familiar blend of folk, rock, and alt-country, with clear influences from the likes of Neil Young and Bob Dylan. Sprawling songs, like “Lonesome” or “Empty Bottle” cover love, longing, and loss through slow and melancholic tunes. The release show will feature performances from other local artists, including country crooner Molly Alphabet, melodic acoustic group Jenny and the Jags, and the gravelly folk of Bryan McQuaid.
