Among The Acres

Among the Acres is a folk rock quartet based out of Hartford, CT that fuses an eclectic range of influences into a sound defined by cascading vocal harmonies, intricate guitar arrangements, and an insatiable desire for “groove”. They deliver powerful live performances, marked by a dynamic spectrum of style, emotion, and sound. Among the Acres was recently voted “Best New Band” in Connecticut by ctNOW and can be found performing regularly in their home state as well as across the Northeast.The “Acorns” are currently in the studio finishing their debut album, set to release at the end of 2018.

Songwriters and founding members Michael Day and Sean Lemkey sowed the seeds of the project while recording their own solo material with a common producer, Patrick Giguere. The pair spent countless hours workshopping songs in various basements, sharing a passion for the detail and depth of musical composition. Soon thereafter, drummer and percussionist Erik Lindblad and bassist Greg Ganci came aboard, bringing with them a keen sense of feel and rhythmic musicality.

Some highlights from their live performance career include playing local staples such from Infinity Hall, Hartford to Radio Bean in Burlington, VT. They have also had the privilege of playing Main Stage at a number of regional festivals, such as the Glastonbury Harvest Festival, the Hartford Rib- Off Festival, and most recently the first annual Hartbeat Music Festival.
