Taking Back Eden
05-21-2016 (Ballroom)
Taking Back Eden is one of the most arresting bands to emerge from the Western MA music scene. Formed in the five-college town of Amherst, MA, this indie-folk-rock band features four amazing women: Carolyn Walker on vocals, guitar, and violin; Sylvie Abate on guitar and banjitar; Jen Spingla on bass, guitar and vocals, and Christine "Tina" Abate on full kit and percussion.
TBE's talent is deep and diverse, offering a blend of textures and instruments to create a unique foundation for soulful vocals, harmonies and thoughtful lyrics. Each woman is a songwriter in her own right and together they produce passionate, literate, sensitive music that speaks about contemporary social issues and fragile discoveries of love and relationships. ??TBE has captured the heart of New England where the band is currently booked up to a year in advance and has developed a large social media following. In addition to colleges, festivals, concert halls, clubs and coffee houses, TBE has appeared on Cape Cod television, SKOPE Radio, the Valley Homegrown Show on GCTV, Music of the People Radio WNCB, and is a favorite on Women of Substance Radio. Their latest EP titled "Beautiful Disaster" was recorded at Signature Sounds and will be released in March, 2016.
“refreshing, accomplished, thought-provoking, meaningful, inventive, seasoned, powerful, brilliant and masterful."
