Kent-based folk-rock band the Speedbumps have become known for their nuanced but dynamic tunes featuring main songwriter Eric Urycki’s poignant vocals.
While it preps for the new album it plans to release in 2017 (you can get more info at its Kickstarter campaign page here), the followup to 2015’s Soil to the Seed, the band is re-visiting a favorite old project: performing with the Canton Symphony Orchestra.
There they’ll join conductor Rachel L. Waddell and the 37-piece orchestra to doing orchestrated arrangements of favorite tunes from the Speedbumps catalog and preview a few of those new ones as well that the band’s cellist Sam Kristoff has arranged for orchestra. Special guest for the evening is Akron’s eclectic Angie Haze Project, fronted by the colorful multi-instrumentalist who gives the group its name.
Tickets are $20-$30.
