Join us for the return of one of The Word Barn’s favorite indie-folk duos for a special performance in The Meadow.
ABOUT TALL HEIGHTS
Boston's Tall Heights thinks the sound of togetherness is profound right now. Childhood friends Paul Wright and Tim Harrington (cello/guitar harmony duo), once street performed 100 days straight to fund their earliest recordings. In the time since, Tall Heights has released 3 studio albums to critical acclaim and major streaming success (400 million streams to date).
They appeared on Conan O'Brien, CBS This Morning, and their songs have been featured on Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, and many more. Most recently, after opening a tour for Ben Folds, Folds invited Tall Heights to stay on the road with him as his backing band. After a few momentous tours as such, Folds invited them to Nashville in 2022.
There they apprenticed under a master, helping Ben Folds write and record his new album, 'What Matters Most' (New West, 2023). On the back of such years honing their craft on the road and in the studio, Tall Heights enters 2024 with their 4th studio LP in hand.
The album, to be released this fall, debuts an ambitious living snapshot of 1 week in an open room in western Massachusetts. It is the sound of an old and deep friendship breathing together in a place in time.
ABOUT CARLY KING
New Jersey-born and Wyoming-braised singer-songwriter, Carly King, has released “Trust Me, Honey,” the first single from her debut EP From A to B (out early 2024). The heartfelt and introspective track is a daydream imagining a conversation with her late father who passed away when she was young, during the terror attacks of 9/11. As King moves past her grief, she tells her father all about herself and the life she has built. She then envisions some words of wisdom and life advice from her father with the chorus: “The youth is wasted on the young and tasteless, and no one's gonna remember what you said… and regret lives on. Trust me, Honey. I’m gone.”
