SOPHIA CORINNE + STATE PARK RANGER + ZACH KARDON @ DIFFERENT WRLD
Aug 19 @ 8:00 pm – Aug 20 @ 12:00 am

Sophia Corinne harvests poetry for the lines of each song from her life, one lived paying attention. Her songs are witness to the raw difficulties and layered radiant joys that every heart bears.

State Park Ranger is an Asheville, NC queer Grunge Folk band. Willow Rhinehart reinvents the classic southern sound with fresh pedal steel, ambient synths, large choir-like harmonies, folk guitar, and raw/abstract lyrics.

Southern Pine is the moniker of songwriter and multi instrumentalist, Zack Kardon. Kardon’s songs look inward. They don’t seek to describe or explain but simply hover- bottling the essence of a feeling.

“They perform barefoot, yes, but what you’ll remember is how the music moved you. Lead singer Noah Wall’s voice can blast you backward as well as pull you in, and the rest of the band has the harmonies and instrumental chops to support that ride.” — News & Observer

The Barefoot Movement integrate bluegrass, blues, folk, rock, country and pop into music that’s delightfully fresh. Shows feature original songs and reimagined cover tunes with tight three-part harmonies and hot instrumentals.
