Darlingtyn/Lowlight/Kate Dressed Up/Pachyderm at The Music Ward

Saturday, June 2, The Music Ward, Philadelphia

~`~Darlingtyn~`~West Philly Cosmic Folk, Darlingtyn is the love child of Philadelphia musicians Jack Shoudy and Emily MacDonald. Their unique style of Americana and “real Philly folk with outstanding original songs” (City Island Music, 2/1/18) has made them a rising act in the Philadelphia folk and jam communities. “Swiftly gaining steam as one of Philly’s artists-to-watch within both Folk & Jam scenes” (MilkBoy, 10/31/17) Darlingtyn has recently shared the stage with Zach Deputy, Jennifer Hartswick (of Trey Anatasio Band), Roots of Creation, The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Steal Your Peach, and Nicholas Cassarino (of The Nth Power). Mixing deeply personal lyrics, vocal harmonies, and a cosmic take on the folk tradition, Darlingtyn brings a unique and powerful new sound to the jam and Americana scenes.

Lowlight

Called “The hardest working and most fiercely loyal band in NJ” (Gannett), Lowlight has recently toured behind their latest EP, Born to Run, in support of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, The Pretenders.
