My album "Green" on iTunes
Darlingside is a string-rock quintet recently settled in Northampton, MA. The band formed at Williams College, where they released their first studio EP and shared the stage with such acts as Guster, The Format and Oak and Gorski (formerly known as The Ken Oak Band). Now in its third incarnation, Darlingside's musical influences range from Radiohead to Loudon Wainwright, Mozart to Earl Scruggs. Elegantly crafted cello-violin duets, soaring harmonies, catchy hooks and compelling beats are all part of Darlingside's evolving sound. After spending their first few months as a band writing tunes holed up in their house, these five are amped to begin touring Western MA and New England.
