* Your fave LI-based indie/americana crew is coming to Huntington!
* "The Belle Curves have proven their prowess." - Goldmine Magazine
Long Island, New York may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of country-Americana music with a strong rural connection, but you might think differently after spending some time with the work of singer/songwriter Delaney Hafener. The driving force behind The Belle Curves, Hafener has a way of turning your assumptions upside down. Whatever preconceived notions you harbor about country music, the USA, love, relationships, identity and belonging, you’ll likely find yourself looking from a newfound vantage point after hearing a few Belle Curves songs. Though certainly incisive, Hafener’s music also conveys consideration, thoughtfulness, and a sincere desire to know what it’s like in another person’s shoes, even when taking them to task. Hafener approaches her songwriting from the premise that country music, and American roots music more generally, have infinite room to grow, even as she honors all the tradition that precedes her.
Anne O’Rourke is a singer-songwriter from the North Fork. They draw on a wide array of influences, from the story-telling of musical theater to anthemic indie rock ear worms. Anne's upbeat folksy originals lean on lush vocal harmonies and unique arrangements, and even though they wield an acoustic guitar, they're not afraid to get loud. Anne uses songwriting to reshape narratives into a force for good in the world, and their infectious positivity invites the listener along on a journey of growth. Fans of Fountains of Wayne and Brandi Carlile alike will find plenty to love.
Tom San Filippo, who many of you know as the lead guitarist of the Half Step Band, is an accomplished guitarist, singer and songwriter. Being influenced by many genres of music over the years, he has been especially in tune with the music of the Grateful Dead.
Having been exposed to the scene at an early age, Tom has developed an innate ability to faithfully recapture the essence of Garcia's sound and style. As a member of HALF STEP, Tom is striving to not only give audiences an accurate homage, but to tap into the true vibe that the Dead have always been known for.
