"Cabinfest veterans (Black Mountain Symphony) were finally able to bring their entire ensemble to Andes, and it resulted in a mind-blowing set of remarkable songwriting, a sonic wall of noise, and a late night opening slot that showed why people leave Cabinfest each year with this band's songs stuck firmly in their shaken heads." (Cabinfest Rundown 2007 Jay Cowit, Kieren Murphy)
Official Bio:
Black Mountain Symphony showcases an eclectic range of influences, blended together to create their own special sound. From haunting folk-tinged ballads to rocking dance numbers, the five-piece band sprinkles their live sets with hints of everything from classical music to bits of Motown, blues and jazz.
This up and coming group of young musicians features a roundtable of powerful lead vocals and harmonies that dance with captivating violin lines and soar over stunning soundscapes, shaped by years of classical training infused with an irresistible love for musical roots and a fresh, ultramodern mentality.
Evocative of such artists as Fleetwood Mac, The Corrs, Yes, Belle & Sebastian, Damien Rice, Guster and The Dave Matthews Band, the group implements the same skill and vision on cover tunes, as they do in their own carefully crafted compositions, and in the process manage to capture something unique and refreshing... This is Black Mountain Symphony.
*Black Mountain Symphony performs both intimate acoustic shows as well as intense, full-band rock shows.
