New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Crazy Daysies, Jacksonville-based acoustic, country/Americana group featuring sisters Rebecca Day and Jen Day-Thompson and percussionist Beau Littles, will open for Charleston (SC) country group the Michael
Martin Band at Jack Rabbits in San
Marco on Thursday, April 16th at 8 pm.
Though The Crazy Daysies have lived and played music in cities big and small in Florida for some time now, sisters Rebecca and Jen are originally from Columbia, SC, only a 3 hour drive from Michael
Martin Band's music base of coastal city, Charleston, SC.
Rebecca and Jen's title track of their debut EP, 'Where the Dirt Runs out of Road,' is an ode to their favorite town in South Carolina where they spent much of their childhood, Lake Murray.
While The Crazy Daysies' music has an overall contemporary, country feel, Michael
Martin Band's flat-picking and melodic strings scores will leave bluegrass fans tapping their feet.
Jack Rabbits is sure to be the only venue in town on
Thursday with a show that highlights the viola, a stringed instrument not often featured in contemporary music. Instead of higher-pitched violin solos normally found in roots and country music, Caryn Egan of Michael
Martin Band, and Jen Day-Thompson of The Crazy Daysies, both saw the deeper, soulful strings of the viola on stage.
Michael
Martin Band is currently on tour, hitting cities as far away as Chicago, IL and Lafayette, IN.
The Crazy Daysies hit the road in June for a summer-long, southeastern tour spanning Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Tickets to the show at Jack Rabbits are $8 in advance, and $10 at the door.
