Sound On is a WBUR CitySpace concert series highlighting rising local musicians. Artists run the gamut from fresh faces new on the scene and experiencing a meteoric rise, to tried-and-true musicians who’ve been around for decades and are creating their most resonant work to date. Most importantly, the musicians featured in the series are producing excellent, original and compelling work — right in Boston’s own backyard.
Axel & Lolo, WBUR’s Massachusetts favorite of NPR’s Tiny Desk contest, is bonded by a shared sensibility of playfulness, joy and curiosity. The Boston-based group led by Lauren Vice and Axel Rodriguez, and rounded out by Tyler Logan Caro on bass and Samuel Oldham on drums, was selected from more than 229 entries for their performance of “You’d Like Me More.” WBUR senior arts and culture reporter Amelia Mason writes that Axel & Lolo made an impression with their “chugging energy and big dynamics.”
The duo, who became friends while students at Berklee, quickly discovered their ability to blend their voices and describe the first time they sat down to write a song together as “so fun, we're having so much fun!” Enjoy an evening celebrating their creative friendship live at CitySpace.
