Husband-and-wife singer/songwriters Lowland Hum will be appearing at the Spotlight Café at the Capitol Center for the Arts (CCA) in Concord, New Hampshire on Saturday, June 18, 2016 at 8PM. Tickets are currently on sale.

Lowland Hum are married couple Daniel Levi Goans and Lauren Plank Goans, who sing impressionistic, ambient songs with airtight harmonies. Lauren has a background in visual art, so their live performances sometimes include compiled film clips and hand-bound books of lyrics.

They're used to fielding questions from audiences about the overlap between their musical and marital partnerships. If anything, they've invited this sort of curiosity by telling their "backstory ": him striking up a conversation after overhearing her singing to herself at a party; their courtship flowering from her harmonizing on his solo record; the joining of their domestic lives; the formation of Lowland Hum.

Here's what the press has to say about Lowland Hum:

  • "Using only their voices, a guitar, a drum, and a couple of custom-made stompbox/tambourines, they have been known to put on captivating live shows." - Examiner.com
  • "Their songs shadowy but bolstered by hope and by a shared vision. But where so many folk acts tend towards the spare and the slow-hoping to drag emotion out of us one pulled note at a time-Lowland Hum's sound is a vibrant one." - Matthew Fiander, Pop Matters
  • "What they've created is one of the most striking, hypnotic, emotionally affecting albums I've heard this or any other year....It's music that quietly combines a haunting, dreamlike stillness with remarkably intuitive playing, all in service of expansive melodies that stretch slowly outward into an invisible horizon." - Vincent Harris, Greenville Journal

Tickets for the June 18 performance are $20 (general admission) and $15 (student). They may be ordered by calling the Capitol Center for the Arts at (603) 225-1111 or online at www.ccanh.com.
