SUMMARY:Nu-Blu at Highlands PAC
DESCRIPTION:This band hailing from Siler City\, North Carolina the textbook definition of a picturesque small southern town\, Nu-Blu’s heart and soul is husband-and-wife duo Daniel and Carolyn Routh. Carolyn’s caramel-coated soprano is one of the band’s defining traits\, at times a tender lullaby\, at times a freight train headed straight for you\, but always unwinding a surprising tale. Daniel is the group’s backbone\, a multi-instrumentalist and backing vocalist who also handles band management. Austin Hefflefinger on banjo\, guitar\, and vocals\, and Justin Harrison on mandolin\, fiddle\, and percussion round out the quartet’s warm\, layered\, Appalachian sound. Together they deliver upbeat\, blazing-fingers pick work just as well as gentle\, heartwarming ballads\, and they do it all with a natural togetherness that can’t be faked\, forged over hundreds of shows on the road. \nFor more information\, please call the Box Office: 828-526-9047. \nFavorites Count: 0
