One of the NightCat’s most popular bands, The Spring Standards, returns Friday, September 2. With an emphasis on three-part harmony and a variety of instrumental switching, The Spring Standards are an energetic force of three-part harmony circling over a rock n’ roll sound with an old country aftertaste.
They take a drum kit and break it up among the three of them, and then they set up along the front of the stage. Whoever’s playing bass is also stepping on a kick drum. whoever’s playing guitar is also stepping on the high hat…in the middle stands Heather, switching between melodica, keys, glockenspiel and snare drum. Yet even with all this going on, their harmonies are astounding.
“(The Spring Standards) are one of those rare bands that don’t come to a venue simply to play some live music. They come to a venue to put on a show, to give their fans an intimate and fun experience that extends beyond merely instruments and vocals.”
