[PAST EVENT] Fridays @ 5 feat. Bison
April 13, 2012
5pm
Join AMP on the Sadler Center Terrace (Lodge 1 if there is inclement weather) and celebrate the end of the week with some music with Virginia's own Bison!
Bison's mountain-top chamber music combines elements of alternative indie-folk with classical sensibilities, bringing a fresh inspiring sound to the folk genre. The music of this seven member band grew organically in the family living room and around backyard bonfires giving it a rootsy quality and yet the complex arrangements and refined strings seem just as appropriate in the symphony hall. With recent airplay on WROX (Norfolk, Va.), the popularity of the band is expanding rapidly. According to the station's program manager, "Switzerland", the first single from their debut album, has prompted the biggest audience response of any tune in his five years at the station.
