Merz, Miller & The Wolves

From the event description:

Following the addition of their drummer, Ariana Bigler, and bassist, Trevor Ring, the eclectic sound of the band is now complete. Sometimes the Wolves can be described as earthy and spacious, layering ephemeral vocal harmonies over bass drones, delays and lightly brushed cymbals. Other times, their sound is dark and rumbly. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
