Fermata
Madison band Fermata built a strong following in the oughts with a uniquely aggressive acoustic sound (often guitar, cello and bass) built around the emotive vocals of Lisa Mazza Hamilton. In effect, it's the sound of chamber music approached with hard rock structures and attitude. Following their 2009 debut album, Only Ghosts Remain, Fermata went on hiatus...until now. The group is back with their first show in 12 years, along with a brand new album, Ever Colder.
press release: $15
Lead by the stunning and versatile vocals of Lisa Mazza Hamilton, and the earnest songwriting of Eli August, Fermata weaves well carved rhythms and heartaching melodies into aural vignettes that will stir the soul.
The ensemble is rounded out by Cody Davis' flawless playing on double bass and the masterful cello work of Thillman Benham.
