HAWLEY, PA — The retro-pop, barbershop, chamber-rock quartet Darlingside will perform at Harmony Presents in the Hawley Silk Mill, 8 Silk Mill Dr., on Saturday, July 4 at 6:30 p.m. The Boston Herald wrote, “Darlingside are doing something new in pop music... ground the Beach Boys, Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Prince, Phish and Radiohead didn’t cover.” Managing director of Harmony Presents, Jill Carletti, said, “We’ve scheduled this show earlier, so you can see the fireworks after the show, even though you’re likely to experience plenty of crackling energy just by seeing Darlingside perform.”

The group uses four distinct voices clustered around a single microphone. David Fricke of Rolling Stone describes them as “a quartet with a rich line in acoustic textures and chamber-rock dynamics... The band’s sound, characterized by classical strings, tight vocal arrangements and bluegrass and rock instrumentation and smart lyricism, is the product of complete collaboration among the four close friends... [E]ach song features a new combination of instruments and textures, pulling heavily from folk, retro-pop, barbershop, and chamber music.”

Tickets cost $20 the week prior to the show and $23 from 12 noon until 5 p.m. on the day of the show. Tickets can be purchased in advance online at www.har monypresents.com or in person at AMSkier Insurance Agency located at 209 Main Ave. Call 570/588-8077. Harmony Presents is sponsored by Bold Gold Media Group.
