Hymn For Her will play their eclectic folk show at the Dolores River Brewery on Friday,.
Lucy Tight and Wayne Waxing are Hymn For Her, a rockin’ duo that hails from anywhere they can park their 16-foot, 1961 vintage Bambi Airstream (comes with dog and baby) as they tour the U.S. coast to coast.
They describe their music as “stomp-grass punk folk with a hint of Americana.” Tight plays a three-stringed broom handle/cigar box guitar, banjo and sometimes even a glockenspiel. She shares vocal duties with Waxing, who also plays acoustic guitar, banjo, dobro, and/or harmonica all while handling percussion on bass drum and hi-hat. Bullet microphones and an arsenal of effect pedals give this band a sound like no other. The show is enhanced by a slide show of original photos projected on an old-fashioned slide projector.
Wherever they play, this duo wins over the audience with a live show that sometimes might include a Led Zeppelin or other classic tune given the Hymn For Her twist.
While there are only two musicians in the band, they bring a big sound,” says music magazine The Spectrum. “Meanwhile, Tight is singing and creating otherworldly slide guitar sounds with the modified cigar box.”
Hymn For Her’s tour promotes their latest release, “Lucy & Wayne’s Smokin’ Flames.” Along the way, they sell their new hot sauce.
“From start to finish, this record flat out rocks,” says Chris Martin, of The Examiner. “Every track is a good song, and once you hit play, you will be sucked into their music world and never want to leave. The album starts bold and strong builds then calms you down at the end.”
