Spuyten Duyvil is
an Americana powerhouse rising rapidly through the vibrant
Northeast music scene. On July 25th, 2014, they bring tightly crafted
songs, stellar musicianship and soaring vocal harmonies to The Dance
Hall in Kittery ME.
With Spuyten Duyvil
(pronounced "SPITE-en DIE-vil"), every performance is a barn-burning
romp through the last 100 years of American Roots music. According to
Delarue of New York Music Daily, the band plays "an
exuberantly original take on classic Americana that draws on influences
from the 70s on forward, from outlaw country to newgrass to folk-pop...
They’ve got a sense of humor, sizzling instrumental chops and catchy
tunes."
Their appearance at The Dance Hall follows a rockin’ 2014 Spring
tour, featuring stops at The New Bedford Folk Festival, Caramoor
American Roots Festival in Katonah NY, The Spring Gulch Folk Festival in
PA, The Brooklyn Folk Festival and a live concert for The Alternate
Root's "EP" Concert Series to be broadcast on Alternate Root TV. The
coming weeks include stops at The Philadelphia Folk Festival (3rd
appearance), The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (5th appearance), Caffe Lena
in Saratoga Springs NY (3rd appearance) as well as debuts at Music
Mountain/Falls Village in CT, WNTIStage in NJ, and Sandywoods Center for
the Arts in RI.
The New York Times describes their music as “Raucous roots”. The Huffington Post calls them
"a mighty powerhouse...channeling straight honky tonk country one
minute and drug-addled mystical blues the next. All the playing is
hot."
