About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

These guys rarely play together, but we convinced them to drive up from Carolina.

Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey grew up together in Winston-Salem, NC, started playing music together in middle school—and have really never stopped. Through countless bands along the way—including, most famously, the dB’s, but also Little Diesel, Sneakers, Continental Drifters, the Golden Palominos, the Salt Collective, and the Paranoid Style—the two lauded songwriters have maintained a deep musical connection.

Their acclaimed albums of “duo” material—Mavericks (1991) and hERE & nOW (2009)—reveal their fondness for the acoustic stylings of the Everly Bros. and the Lovin’ Spoonful. And these disks are fan favorites, as is Our Back Pages, a lively 2020 collection of acoustic reinventions of dB’s songs.

Listen:

"Angels"

"She Was the One"

"Black and White"

"My Friend the Sun"
