About the Event
The Soft Opening gently brings back the gentle sounds of 1970s soft rock. Its five members take turns singing lead, each bound by blood oath to provide backup vocal harmony in order to fully recapture the beauty of these legendary songs. Featuring local darlings Nora OConnor (Neko Case, The Flat Five), Liam Davis (The Diff, Frisbie), Gerald Dowd (Robbie Fulks, Justin Roberts), Alton Smith (Steve Dawson & The Lucid Dreams, Bear Williams Band) and Mark Bransfield (The Bransfield Strait), these identically aged musician-vocalists have these classic tunes all but etched into their frigging DNA. It is thus their distinct pleasure to sing you these songs with all the dulcet majesty and love they command.
