SUMMARY:2nd Shift Concert: Winterpills
DESCRIPTION:Formed in the fog of the timeline around the fall of the Twin Towers\, the death of Elliott Smith\, the peak influence of Pitchfork and the dawn of the iPod\, the members of Winterpills met and began making music in the old-fashioned winter of 2003 in the shambolic Northampton\, Massachusetts\, music scene. They gleefully stumbled upon their sound: Flora Reed and Philip Price’s harmonies and “heartrending” songwriting (so says No Depression)\, Dennis Crommett’s tender shoegaze guitar\, Dave Hower’s unclassifiable drumming\, and later on Max Germer’s moonlit bass feel. “Winterpills gradually builds elegant arrangements… While the gathered instruments offer some solace\, the songs stay haunted\,“ wrote Jon Pareles in the New York Times. \nWinterpills opening our 2026 spring season will be a musical blessing of the best kind.
