Headlining: Tall Heights

In the summer of 2010, this Boston-based duo was playing for spare change in Faneuil Hall Marketplace. In the year since, Tall Heights has performed alongside national acts like David Wilcox, Barefoot Truth, and Andrew Belle, and headlined packed houses across New England. They have independently sold over 2,000 copies of their debut album.

On September 13th, Tall Heights unveiled their follow-up, completely independent project, Rafters, and sold 700 copies in the first 7 days. While many artists in their genre of late have retreated to the wilderness to record, Tall Heights stayed in the city. These five tracks were recorded over a few sweltering months in a small bedroom of their Boston apartment with little more than an SM58 microphone, an iMac, a guitar, a cello and their voices. And, although there was neither cabin nor lake, Rafters is already spreading across their Thoreauvian folk scene like brushfire. Release show dates for the new EP will bring Tall Heights from Portland to Atlanta this fall.
