Moira Smiley & VOCO
Tickets $50
Carr Gallery/Call 522-0471
Moira Smiley & VOCO is a visionary blend of voices – redefining harmony singing with the power & physicality of folksong, the avant-garde fearlessness of Béla Bartók and the delicious, vaudevillian accompaniment of cello, banjo, accordion and body percussion. Moira Smiley leads an ensemble of extraordinary musicians who share a passion for spreading powerful, emotional music. Original improvisation-built songs steeped in Appalachia and Eastern Europe. VOCO is sweet hard-driving Americana mixed with crooked eastern European dance and dissonance. It’s all rounded out with body-stompin’ percussive movement and joyous, magnificent, hair-raising harmonies – music that mourns and dances at the same time. A portion of ticket proceeds supports outreach activities with Idaho Falls High School Choirs.
