The Accidentals @ Safety Harbor Songfest
(Safety Harbor, Florida) Safety Harbor Songfest 2017 gave the chance to support an amazing art community at a local venue. A friend from Michigan met us with a wild spark in his eyes said, “The Accidentals are here!” At that point if I had any idea why he was so excited I would have run to see them.
At the after show gathering some of the bands and artists were playing intimate sets at the Safety Harbor Art & Music Center. I stood in the back of the room as The Accidentals drew their bows and was goose-bumped from the first note; so captivated I didn’t move, with tears in my eyes. This doesn’t happen often for me.
Savannah Buist, Katie Larson, and Michael Dause are each gifted multi-instrumental musicians and vocalize together harmonically. Their edgy yet precise ability to strike emotion hit me and their lyrical conveyance is a fresh perspective. Diving into every song I could find by The Accidentals was a deep well, like getting to know a new friend.
Cherry on the icing on the cake??? They have a single “KW”, yup Keller Williams! Our favorite guitar wizard magician lyricist, recorded the guitar for the track. The Accidentals toured with Keller and collaborated on his album as well. Delicious.
They just played at Founder’s Fest to a sold out crowd, opening for Umphrey’s McGee.
Look for The Accidentals first major label release “Odyssey” on Aug.18th 2017. I’m looking forward to more magic from this powerhouse.
