The next installment of the arc{hive} House Band Presents features: John Faraone + American Echoes
John Faraone is a Pawtucket-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist who has played drums in multiple bands in the decade he’s been active in the Rhode Island music scene. With a new album called The Waves due out this year, Faraone has been playing in clubs, theaters, and bars across the region fine tuning this new batch of songs. Of his debut album, Light Upon, Providence Monthly writes,
“John Faraone’s debut album Light Upon is the kind of slow search for clarity, purpose, and quality one would hope a musician undertakes to deliver their work. Whether he realizes it or not, Faraone has found the quality he’s been searching for.”
American Echoes is a duo that fuses identical twins Laura and Nina Ganci's influences based largely in Rhythm & Blues and Folk. They create a slight tension by the exploratory twisting of musical styles, enhanced by Laura’s diverse acoustic and electric guitar riffs, and their melodic harmonies that wax and wane from raspy to ethereal as they bounce across in stereo to deliver an emphatic experience.
