Indie-folk duo Tall Heights will bring their evolving sound to the Maintenance Shop on Saturday.

Compared to the likes of Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Arcade Fire, the lifelong friends continuously expand on their indie, pop, electronic and folk labels across their nine year journey as a musical act. Expect Tall Heights to showcase their evolution when they take the stage Saturday.

Paul Wright and Tim Harrington began building their music career as Tall Heights, performing on the streets of Boston in 2009. The band’s first independent releases “Rafters” and “Man of Stone” laid the groundwork for their future sound. Wright’s cello, Harrington’s acoustic guitar and their harmonized vocals are the essential elements Tall Heights establishes in their early work.

When the band made their major label debut in 2015 on Sony Masterworks with “Neptune,” the band added in drums, keyboards, synthesizers and electric guitar. With the addition of these instruments, Tall Heights emphasized a more modern production style.

With their latest release in early October, “Pretty Colors For Your Actions,” the duo met in the middle with their production oriented pop sound and the natural folk sound they began with. This time with an in-studio band, the Tall Heights’ sound embodies a warm and living atmosphere with upbeat jams and genre fusing musical moments.

Now with over 130 million streams and a relentless touring effort, Tall Heights looks to expand their base and to continue expanding their signature sound.

Indie-folk singer and songwriter Old Sea Brigade and indie-pop band Frances Cone will support Tall Heights at the M-Shop.

Tickets are $12 for Iowa State students and $18 for the public and can be purchased at the M-SHOP box office or online via midwestix.com.
