SUMMARY:Generationals @ Higher Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Point Welcomes: \nGenerationals \nA Tour de Point Show\n \n  \nMonday\, October 9\, 2023  Doors: 7 PM / Show: 7:30 PM \nHigher Ground | South Burlington\, VT \n– Tickets and Event Info – \n  \nTed Joyner and Grant Widmer knew they had balked before they even got home. In the Fall of 2021\, Joyner and Widmer—for a dozen years\, the beguiling garage-pop pair known as Generationals—wrapped the second of two sessions in Georgia for a new EP. They’d opted out of the process of file-sharing they had used for years. Choosing instead to cut songs straight to tape in Athens\, a spiritual epicenter for their brand of twinkling tunes. The results sounded great\, but they didn’t think their songs were actually that exciting or up to snuff. Why busy everyone else with the rigamarole of releasing a record when they weren’t convinced by it themselves? Joyner and Widmer scrapped the sessions\, relieved. The decision\, after all\, did not represent some existential crisis for Generationals\, some what-are-we-doing-here panic; it was\, instead\, a validation of trusting their process and respective enthusiasms\, of releasing great records rather than churning out substandard “content.” Before the veto was final\, Joyner and Widmer were working on songs they already knew passed that test. \nHeatherhead is the winning result of that restart. Effortless and endearing\, as settling as a long hug from an old friend\, Heatherhead is not only the best Generationals album yet but also the one that\, after all these years\, finds Joyner and Widmer at last epitomizing their sound. These 11 songs are no-fuss\, no-filler manifestations of Generationals’ bittersweet beauty\, of would-be rock anthems made to feel like cozy sweaters. Maybe it’s the way the thick riff of the indelible “Dirt Diamond” frames a vulnerable admission or how the taut rhythm section of “Hard Times for Heatherhead” buoys a smitten plea\, but this record at large feels like Joyner and Widmer digging deeper into the juxtapositions that have long made Generationals so compelling—distinct but familiar\, wry but warm\, soft but pointed. Heatherhead is the record Joyner and Widmer have been pursuing from the start.

SUMMARY:JAWNY @ Higher Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Point Welcomes: \nJAWNY \nA Tour de Point Show\n \n  \nMonday\, October 9\, 2023  Doors: 8 PM / Show: 8:30 PM \nHigher Ground | South Burlington\, VT \n– Tickets and Event Info – \n  \nToo much thinking can get in the way of good art. That’s the philosophy that indie singer/songwriter JAWNY has embraced even under the pressure of recording his debut album\, It’s Never Fair\, Always True. JAWNY has built his career by intuition\, letting his music evolve naturally as he grows personally. Instead of chasing the high of past successes — including his 2019 US Gold and Mexico Diamond-certified hit\, “Honeypie” — he’s followed his gut and tapped into a new vision that reflects his growth over the years. Even as he embraces a “first thought\, best thought” approach to making music\, his songs have grown in scope and scale — elevating him from songwriter to indie-pop auteur with a kaleidoscopic vision and rich sense of narrative that informs everything he does. \nOn It’s Never Fair\, Always True JAWNY tackles a familiar storyline: a boy falls madly in love\, eventually loses that love\, then quickly spirals downward. The doomed tale unfolds with breezy guitar-pop that gradually builds into sweeping lovelorn reveries\, a thrilling multi-part finale and a blistering feature from Grammy winning legend Beck. The album has received praise from the media with NME giving the album four stars stating\, “The McCartney-esque piano tune ‘Fall In Love’ shows there’s more to Jawny than catchy alt-pop as he adds depth to his sound with a triumphant string section\,” and Music Connection noting the album “closer “Selfish Hate” is Jawny’s most ambitious opus at eight minutes\, a sad stoner’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” “I’m old enough to feel old\, but young enough to die alone…\,” these opening lines of “Everything” serve as a mission statement from a more sophisticated\, mature singer.
