Park summer concert series begins

Get ready for some music in a week, as the Friends of Hot Springs State Park kicks off their 2019 “Sounds of Summer” series with a performance from “The Two Tracks” on Thursday, June 20.

The band is based out of Sheridan and performs Americana. Their 2017 album Postcard Town has been described as “creating an instant connection...in truth there’s not a single offering here that doesn’t engage the listener practically from the get go,” and “rural warmth...infusing their tunes with a feel for the open spaces of The West.”

The band features Julie Szewc on vocals and acoustic guitar, David Huebner on cello and electric guitar, Fred Serna on drums and percussion, and Taylor Phillips on bass.  From rock to country, bluegrass to folk, the music helps define the sound of superbly crafted, fully assertive Americana. Their harmony-rich songs often add cello to a solid groove, creating a unique ambiance that’s all their own. Throw in a journeyman’s attitude and a penchant for affecting storytelling, and here again, The Two Tracks create a sound that typifies a style birthed in the heartland, with all the sentiment and sensitivity that does justice to that timeless sound.
