Tonight Tonight in Music: Bowerbirds, and More

Posted by on Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 9:15 AM

Bowerbirds, Julie Doiron

(Triple Door) Bowerbirds are the Raleigh, North Carolina, trio of Phil Moore (vocals, guitar, hi-hats), Beth Tacular (vocals, accordion, kick drum), and Mark Paulson (drums, violin). Tacular's wheezing, waltzing accordion and the dispersed drumming lend the pastorally minded band's drifting vocal harmonies a more robust weight than some of their folky contemporaries. Julie Doiron was the bassist and covocalist of isolated New Brunswick indie-rock outpost Eric's Trip; since that band's breakup, she's maintained a steady and fruitful solo career. Her recent releases have included a haunting collaboration with local light Mount Eerie (Lost Wisdom), a set of traditional folk songs (Daniel, Fred & Julie), and an album of electrified rock more in the style of her old band (I Can Wonder What You Did with Your Day). Whatever mode she's in tonight, it's bound to be mesmerizing. ERIC GRANDY
