The Getaway Drivers and Nellie Wilson And The Hellbound Honeys at High Noon Saloon
Local music thrives when people get restless, confronting and challenging trends, letting ideas flare up and burn out in a natural and erratic way. That said, even a town like Madison needs its reliable comforts, and The Getaway Drivers offer some, consistently writing solid alt-country songs that suit both the mellow and the curious. Bob Manor's songwriting and his vocal harmonies with fiddler-mandolin player Sheila Shigley certainly keep the band rooted in familiar ground on The Truth Is Where It's Always Been, a five-song EP set for release at this show. The energetic hooks of "Honey On A Razor" and "Beale Street" mesh nicely with simple, tense guitar figures and arrangements that also switch in such elements as cello and dulcimer.
