Hiss Golden Messenger's tour has just begun. Bright Direction (You're a Dark Star Now) 13. I've Got a Name for the Newborn Child -> Mama Tried (Merle Haggard cover) 3. The band couldn't hit near all of it, but a cool 18 songs made the cut, including a Merle Haggard cover melodied in. With over a dozen studio albums out in the world, there was a lot of material for M.C. Her beautiful and glistening style of folk echoed off the walls of Saturn to add a little shimmer to a sea of darkness. She'll be joining the group on all of their upcoming dates around America. Singer/songwriter Alexa rose opened the show. This is a group of musicians who know their craft and have perfected it.Īlexa Rose at Saturn | Dylan Basden Photography Tight and crisp drums kept a solid beat throughout, rollicking keys kept a sparkle in the mix, and some just plain beautiful guitar work stole the show. I honestly cannot praise the rest of the band enough. Taylor makes sure his brand of singer/songwriter is not lost in the mix, with his voice and his words ringing true throughout the show. Taking the forefront of Hiss Golden Messenger's music is the writing, a segment that can often be lost in live shows, but not here.

M.C.'s raspy-smooth voice overtop the lush instrumentals made for an awesome listening experience. The live performance they've crafted is stellar. The band didn't miss a note, they came prepared, and they put on an amazing show. It is easy to see that Taylor and his fellow musicians know what they're doing. Hiss Golden Messenger also played a show local to Auburn in nearby Waverly, AL on that tour. They last played in Birmingham in Fall of 2019 at Saturn.

Formed in 2007, the project has developed a loyal following over the years. Hiss Golden Messenger hails from Durham, NC and is largely the creative venture of lead singer M.C.
