Weaving harmonies, girl-next-door lyrics and billowing chords are what you’ll hear from Sweet Hello, a Chicago-based acoustic rock band, created by Laura Doherty and Cat Edgerton, who released their debut CD Well of Wishes, in June, 2004. Laura and Cat met at the venerable Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago and started playing music together in 2002. Armed with their acoustic and electric guitars, the duo has rounded out the band with drummer Jason Toth (Sinister Luck Ensemble, Fruit Bats) and native New Yorker John Abbey (David Poe, John Cale) on bass, who produced the CD as well. Sweet Hello’s new recording covers a lot of ground, gently moving in several musical directions. In an array of melodic pop songs, straight-ahead rock tunes and stripped-down ballads, you’ll hear a smattering of cello, violin, accordion, bodhran and washboard. And Cat’s mandolin playing on several tracks gives a rootsy flavor to their sound. Through this 14-song journey, Laura and Cat’s intimate and honest voices shine through. | |
