Show Description
"Time-honored, and astonishingly innovative." - PasteThe Low Anthem is a folk and rock trio from Providence, RI who take influence from old gospel and folk tunes, Tom Waits, Neil Young, and Nick Drake. They are known for varied and eclectic instruments and a combination of thoughtful ballads with raw, minimalist rock. In September, the band self-released their third album, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin, which has been critically acclaimed in Paste magazine, NPR, BBC, and The Boston Globe. The record is a thematic 12 song work, recorded in the cold, bare stillness of a Block Island winter.
The Low Anthem formed as a professional band in 2006 in Providence, RI. The founding members were Ben Knox Miller and Jeffrey Prystowsky. Their mutual interests in Americana, baseball, and morally agnostic narrative necessitated the formation of The Low Anthem. They began a collaboration with classical composer Jocie Adams in November 2007. This will be their first time playing Joe's Pub.
