NEW EP ‘TAKE MY PICTURE’ OUT TODAY
BAND IS AZERBAIJAN BOUND IN MAY WITH STATE DEPARTMENT’S ARTS ENVOY PROGRAM
Though they are as at home performing at Lincoln Center or Brooklyn Bowl
as in dive bars, Silver City Bound’s comfort level will be tested as
they are set to join a U.S. State Department Arts Envoy tour of
Azerbaijan on May 12-22. The band will perform festival concerts in Baku
and travel around the country, collaborating with local musicians. The
band, formerly known as the Amigos, has previously toured for the State
Department in China, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.
Silver City Bound’s new EP ‘Take My Picture’ is out today and they will
perform tonight at Brooklyn’s Barbes.
According to Pop Matters, “New York’s Silver City Bound play a fun,
eclectic brand of Americana that blends in folk, zydeco and a bit of
indie rock.”
The Bluegrass Situation calls them “ebullient.”
Elmore Mag says, “With a sound driven by a jarringly poignant accordion
and a howling electric guitar, Silver City Bound is provides the perfect
soundtrack for roadtripping.”
The Arts Envoy Program shares the best of the U.S. arts community with
the world to foster cross-cultural understanding and collaboration and
to demonstrate shared values and aspirations. American arts
professionals-- including performing artists, visual artists, poets,
playwrights, theatrical and film directors, curators, and others--
travel overseas to conduct workshops, give performances, and mentor
young people. Programs seek to connect with international publics who
might not otherwise have the opportunity to engage with American arts
professionals.
