We Are The Willowssupported by Matt Holman (guitar), Leah Ottman (violin/voice/keys), Hilary James (cello/voice/keys), Travis Collins (bass), and Josh McKay (drums/voice).We Are The Willows craft dynamic, intimate songs with instruments and voices combining to create energetic rhythms and intricate melodies, and heartfelt arrangements that evoke shared nostalgic feelings of love and loss. Their Page Series performance will feature songs inspired by 350 letters written by Miller’s grandparents during World War II and explore themes of family, separation, life, death, and identity. The songs communicate complex ideas delivered with pop-sensible charm. Click here for performance information and tickets.
