If Birds Could Fly, the husband and wife duo of Brittany and Andrew Carter, brings a unique blend of Appalachian folk and old-school Americana music to The Thought Lot on Oct. 2 as a part of the band's fall tour.
The tour will see the band trekking as far as Texas with stops in Tennessee, Mississippi and North Carolina.
Brittany offers haunting vocals while playing a variety of instruments, most commonly drums.
Andrew is the duo's guitarist, offering mellow, soothing companionship to Brittany's strong vocal performances.
Though the duo is not confined to the country genre, the pair has opened up for several notable country acts such as Ray Wiley Hubbard and LeAnn Rimes.
The band is currently working on its sophomore album after releasing "Ghosts" in 2012 on Stillbrook Records to a very positive audience reaction.
The new album will deviate from the sound and method of the first according to Brittany.
"We definitely want it to be a lot more gritty than the last one. The last one was a little bit polished. We've written a whole lot of material over the years. It's a lot more rock n' roll," Brittany said in an interview with "New Slang."
This will be If Birds Could Fly's second time at The Thought Lot and it will play host to a couple of talented opening acts.
Solo act Kevin Neidig and Daniel James & The Blue Collar Special will be sharing the stage as opening acts for the evening.
Neidig is a one man band, as instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter who hails from the Mechanicsburg area. Neidig also specializes in Americana and folk music.
Daniel James & The Blue Collar Special is an Americana band with a rock and roll twist from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
