Description
The Foxgloves w/ special guest Mike Mangione Band
The Foxgloves:
The Foxgloves are an all-female band with songs you won’t be able to stop humming. Their engaging presence, rich instrumentation, compelling storytelling songwriting, three-part harmonies, and creatively reimagined covers render them a force to be reckoned with. This powerful band is making moves you’ll want to witness. A little bit of country, a little bit of folk, a little bit of classical, and a whole lot of heart — your toes will tap of their own accord.
Mike Mangione & The Kin:
Mike Mangione, an Americana and acoustic folk artist, began his music career by leaving his hometown of Chicago for L.A. After a year and a half of performing around the city, he bought a van and started a life on the road, playing over 150 shows a year. This period shaped his music, emphasizing sonic subtlety, silence as an instrument, and patience—elements that remain central to his work today. Over 18 years, with two bands and eight releases, Mangione’s music has evolved into a lush complexity that combines these foundational pillars with maturity and time. His songs, rich with imagery, poetry, and mystery, create a communion between artist and audience, providing a “dwelling place” for listeners. Mangione's sixth full-length studio album, "Blood and Water," produced by Grammy winner Larry Campbell, features notable musicians and explores themes of sacrifice and renewal. His previous albums have received critical acclaim, with "Tenebrae" (2008) named New York Magazine’s pick of the week, "Offering" (2010) praised by Blurt Magazine, "Red-Winged Blackbird Man" (2013) earning four stars from American Songwriter Magazine, and "But I’ve Seen the Stars" (2017) described by No Depression as "a country-blues/indie gem."
