The Deer have formed a breed of indie folk entirely uninhibited, all its own, and absolutely captivating. The songs are spacious, airy vocals float atop lovely, languid melodies and gentle percussion, adorned with softly swelling synths and thoughtfully-plucked fiddle and mandolin. It's a sound that compels comparisons to songwriting principals like Fleetwood Mac, Neko Case, or Mazzy Star.The Deer shared the stage with Wild Child, Matthew Logan Vasquez, Ley Line, and Altamesa at the Haute Spot.
The Deer have announced a new album titled Do No Harm to be released November 1 on Keeled Scales / Secretly Distribution. The band share a home with the critically acclaimed indie label, Austin, Texas, where they've been honored by Austin Music Awards as Best Performing Folk Act and Runner Up: Best Austin Band. Bolstered by an arts grant from Austin’s music patron organization, Black Fret, the band was able to record and write their new album over two years, at home in Austin and while on tour in Colorado and California.
Love & Lightstream is a wide open-air, socially distant, drive-in concert on 77 acres. Proceeds go to HAAM/Black Fret, artists and production. As the music industry continues to take devastating hits from the COVID-19 pandemic, Love & Lightstream aims to launch a movement to experience live music again and support the local music community in a safe, responsible and beautiful way.
Each concert will be implemented with the utmost in social distancing and safety protocols. Only 200 cars will be admitted on-site each evening and a free live-stream will be available for world-wide viewing on the L&LS website.
Love & Lightstream has teamed up with Werd Productions to bring you the full festival experience; SL festival stage, huge sound system, killer lighting and two huge LED walls with video crew to make sure there’s no bad seat in the house. These companies have put on world-class production for years and are excited to bring their teams to provide you with an unforgettable experience.
