In Whelans tonight!
The Low Anthem are a folk quintet from Providence, Rhode Island, United States. They formed in 2006 and consist of multi-instrumentalists Ben Miller, Jeff Prystowsky, Jocie Adams, Mike Irwin and Tyler Osbourne. The band has released four albums: “The Low Anthem” (2006), “What the Crow Brings” (2007), “Oh My God, Charlie Darwin” (2009) and “Smart Flesh” (2011).
Ben Knox Miller and Jeffrey Prystowsky met while DJing an overnight jazz show on a Brown University radio station, WBRU. They became friends and teammates for a local wood-bat baseball team called the Providence Grays. Miller and Prystowsky played in various ensembles together ranging from classical and jazz to electronica, and the Low Anthem was formed in 2006. In the fall of 2006, Dan Lefkowitz, a bluesman from Strasburg, Virginia, joined the band and contributed to its evolving brand of songwriting with his song “This God Damn House.”
Early in 2007, Lefkowitz left the band to pursue simple living in a yurt in Arkansas. The band became a trio again in late 2007 with the addition of classical composer and clarinetist Jocie Adams, a fellow student and former NASA employee, who joined the band after a late-night recording session for the band’s album What The Crow Brings. She appears on vocals and clarinet on the album’s closing track, “Coal Mountain Lullaby.”

The last time Otis Gibbs played Belfast was in the Black Box as part of the 2009 Open House Festival where he brought the audience to their feet - for a standing ovation. He was that good. Those that were there will probably remember that gig forever. The Duke & The King also made their Open House debut that Sunday afternoon. There really was something very special happening onstage that day, and it’s high time we had some more of those special happenings. So, ladies and gentlemen, will you therefore please put your hands together and welcome back to Belfast, the one and only Mr Otis Gibbs.
A seasoned troubadour, Gibbs hails from uber-cool East Nashville where he and his partner Amy Lashley run their independent record label, Wanamaker Recording Company. Never happier than when he’s singing about the common man, injustice or the environment, Otis’ sixth album, released earlier this year, maybe has a more personal feel. The title of this album, ‘Harder than Hammered Hell’ comes from a phrase he heard when working as a tree planter. A 70-year-old co-worker would describe ground that was tough to dig as “harder then hammered hell” and Gibbs has chosen this to describe the gritty folk tales found herein. Rather apt title then.
‘Gibbs brings his characters to life with a vocal growl that sounds just one pack of Camels shy of Tom Waits, ‘ LA Times
