SPECIAL: Dark Mean feature set, Wed June 22

May 14th, 2011

Dark_Mean_cover.jpgSPECIAL: Wednesday June 22 at 9 pm. Hamilton’s own Dark Mean makes a special appearance at Artword Artbar just before their Toronto album launch.  Sandy Johnston and Billy Holmes, who seem to play anything and everything, give unassuming yet intricate acoustic sections, banjo riffs that will make you smile, driving drum patterns, and well-crafted arrangements. Mark Dean‘s vocals draw the pieces together, and his phrasing and sense of melody is something truly special. (We will do an early-bird Open Mic from 8 to 9 pm, and a bit more after the Dark Mean set.) http://www.darkmean.com/fr_news.cfm
