Manchester Underground Concert Series featuring Delta 88 12/22/2023

Manchester Underground Concert Series featuring Delta 88 Its a live Concert from Manchester Underground featuring Ann Arbor band Delta 88. This was recorded live at the River Raisin Distillery in Manchester, MI "The band combines a variety of musical influences from the American songbook to craft their own modernized version of that classic sound, a plaintive take on alt-country akin to haunted mountain spirituals played through a distortion pedal. From wide channels of dynamic, emotional arrangements to somber barroom ballads and anthemic battle cries, Delta 88’s music blazes a trail through the Americana wilderness. The band has four studio albums under their belt, with the most recent featuring production by Grammy Award-winning musician and producer Joe Henry. Delta 88’s music has been heard on stages throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe with the likes of bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, country star Emmylou Harris, and singer-songwriter Buddy Miller, among others." /episode/index/show/4bd84812-cd56-413c-af55-25dffabfe93d/id/29201468
