The Wreckids
April 14, 2010
(Wednesday 6-7:00pm)
The Wreckids (formerly Scotts Roger) is a husband and wife acoustic
duo. Their music can be described as
easy going folk, but is also lively and contemporary. Most songs
feature Scott playing the acoustic guitar and singing, while Sarah
sings and plays viola and a host of other instruments. You'll hear
comical, thoughtful lyrics paired with beautiful, lilting harmonies. A
strange combination to be sure, but the real art here is managing this
brittle juxtaposition.
Anyone who's attended a live show can tell you they're as much about
what happens between the songs as the tunes themselves. Scott and
Sarah enjoy telling corny jokes and playfully ribbing each other Sonny
and Cher style. Time will fly as you're having fun at The Wreckids
show.
