Details:
The Huntress and Holder of Hands phoenixed from the loss of songwriter MorganEve Swain’s husband and musical partner, Dave Lamb (Brown Bird) in 2014 and has since evolved to encompass the anger, hope, despair and compassion of the greater good. Grief, after all, when shared, becomes a unifying force.
Ten years after the band’s debut album, Avalon, The Huntress and Holder of Hands returns with Babylon. As the title suggests, the collection grapples with corruption, confusion and violence but also redemption, hope, and sanctuary. Songs like “Promethean”, “Doctrine”, “Beasts We Are” and “Ritual”, ask questions of humanity—are we too late to change? Are we learning from our mistakes? Is this the world we want to leave behind? While other tracks— “Absence” and “Timbre Inaudible”—make it clear that Swain’s personal grief remains an active well.
Wyn and the White Light is the pomegranate-infused haunted-soul-rock band led by two-time ‘Female Performer of the Year’ New England Music Award (NEMA) nominee Wyn Doran. Wyn is no stranger to the New England music scene, receiving numerous NEMA nominations for her solo music, opening for acts including Rhett Miller and Giant Rooks, and working closely with Ben Folds at songwriting retreats. With the addition of Lucia Jean (bass/vocals) and Heidi Tierney (drums/vocals), Wyn has expanded into a new electric chapter with the White Light. The trio’s live act has taken flight: weaving primal, haunting energy with "blackened, burning candor (Deli Magazine),” and selling out numerous Boston shows in their first year.
