Past Event Sound Series: Hiss Golden Messenger

Caucasian man sits legs crossed and right hand on top of his left wrist, resting on his legs. His button-up shirt is a bit wrinkled with sleeves rolled up, and he is wearing jeans. He looks directly into the camera with a straight face. He is seated in front of a window.

The Warhol welcomes Hiss Golden Messenger on a tour supporting Heart Like a Levee, its latest release on Merge Records. Led by singer/songwriter M.C. Taylor and multi-instrumentalist Scott Hirsch, the Durham, NC-based band has drawn comparisons to Bill Callahan and Bonnie Prince Billy by deftly blending elements of country, folk, and sparse blues. Their songs are underpinned by the earnest lyrics of Taylor, who also lectures on folklore, authors the blog The Old Straight Track, and has contributed to a music education curriculum for Quincy Jones.

This performance is co-presented with 91.3 WYEP.
