ArtsEmerson is proud to announce a weekend of local bands appearing in The Jackie Liebergott Black Box Theatre, located in the Paramount Center, the weekend of January 23rd and 24th. Area Boston bands haven’t had many opportunities to perform anywhere downtown for decades, and this weekend of concerts will provide music lovers with a fantastic opportunity to see some of the best Beantown bands performing in a beautiful building rich with entertainment history.
Tigerman WOAH
Tigerman WOAH's performances often start somewhere that's not the stage. This past summer, in Portsmouth, NH, the band headed to the venue's downstairs bar and began hollering acapella at the patrons, before marching upstairs to the stage where their "drunken, cultish, group-work-oriented" style came to life in all its unrefined splendor. One critic called it "swamp country punk band" and that's an accurate description as any. The band is currently nominated for a Boston Music Award for Live Artist of the Year.
Faces on Film
Faces on Film blends woodsy folk, pastoral indie rock, heartfelt alt-country, ‘60s British invasion, rootsy Americana and the hypnotic percussion of Can to form into something wholly new. Their captivating recorded work and intimate live shows create a feeling that frontman Mike Fiore is a man out of time, staking claims on multiple decades of music all at once, while still sounding forward thinking. Their debut album led to Fiore winning Boston Phoenix’s 2009 award for Best Singer/Songwriter in Boston and a spotlight by NPR’s “Second Stage,” while the band's most recent video for "The Rule" has earned them a Best Music Video nomination from the The Boston Music Awards.
