Damn Tall Buildings to perform tonight at Bicknell Family Center

Damn Tall Buildings, a nationally touring group, will bring their signature blend of bluegrass, blues, roots-rock, and vintage swing tonight to the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts at Pittsburg State University in partnership with Olive Street Presents.   

At 7 p.m. tonight [Saturday] they’ll perform in the Bicknell Center’s Miller Theater — an intimate venue that will enable audience members to be close to the musicians.  

Backed by a captivating, high-energy sound, their lyrics find beauty and glory in the mundane, workaday struggle of everyday life.  

In 2013, the group’s three members, guitarist/lead vocalist Max Capistran, bassist/lead vocalist Sasha Dubyk, and fiddler/vocalist Avery Ballotta, were students at Boston’s Berklee College of Music and took their instruments to nearby street corners to jam. They’ve since produced four albums and toured widely, appearing at large festivals in noted venues.  

They carry with them a connective spirit, welcoming audiences to join in the moment with the band as they take us on a journey through a well-crafted show.  

The trio has a knack for making any room feel a little more like home and has been described by The Boston Globe as “The Carter Family for the millennial generation.”   

Fans of John Hartford, The Band, The Stanley Brothers, and Billy Strings will love their style.  

Tickets may be purchased online at olivestreetpresents.org for $20 in advance and $25 the day of the show and at the door. Non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.
