The Ditty Bops
This summer The Ditty Bops, Abby DeWald (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Amanda Barrett (vocals, mandolin, dulcimer) bring their quirky folk pop tunes and luminous vocal harmonies to the masses via a cross country bicycle tour of America in support of cycling, clean air, and their new album "Moon Over the Freeway". Paste Magazine says, "They just might be the strangest, most unlikely musical duo since Hall and Oates." Their music is a blend of folk, bluegrass, jazz, western swing, ragtime and musical theater, with the duo's performances often highlighted by period costumes from the 1920s and puppet shows. NOT TO BE MISSED!
They'll be at Mad Art Gallery, on Friday, July 28th. Maid*Rite opens. Advance tickets are $12 at Mad Art or from MetroTix and $15 at the door. Doors open at 7pm and concert starts at 8pm.
The date is July 28, not September 28.
Posted by Michael M. on Mon., Jul 17, 2006 at 10:40 PMI must purchase tickets soon! I'm really excited about this show. And with Quintron and Miss Pussycat coming to the new Creepy Crawl on Wednesday the 26th and then this show on Friday, it is going to be a good week for weird music in St. Louis. Now all we need is maybe a surprise tour date from Bobby Conn and the Glass Gypsies and we'll reeeallly be set!
