Waterville Rocks: Assembly of Dust
August 9, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
FreeDue to inclement weather, this performance is being moved inside the Waterville Opera House. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m.; music starts at 7:00 p.m. Art Rocks will be held inside the Waterville Opera House Lobby.
Over the last 10 years Assembly of Dust has crafted a unique sound that recalls the likes of The Band, Traffic, and Neil Young. They have taken that early ’70s Americana swagger, put their own funky spin on it, and earned comparisons to the next generation of Americana heroes, including Ryan Adams, Mumford & Sons, and Wilco. The raw building blocks of Reid Genauer’s songs stand strong on their own and they are polished to brilliance in the hands of the band he’s surrounded himself with: Adam Terrell (lead guitar), John Leccesse (bass), and two newer members Jason Crosby (piano and violin) and Dave Diamond (drums). Hooky melodies, poetic lyrics, and a profound depth of musicianship prompted USA Today to say Assembly of Dust has what it takes to “dazzle the Alt-Country universe.”
