Reed Brake – Live at Oversoul

Oversoul Brewing 4161 Helena Rd, Helena, AL, United States

Reed Brake will be playing at Oversoul Brewing in Helena on Friday, September 26 from 7-10:00 pm. Admission is free. Reed Brake draws inspiration from a wide range of musical genres and they have songs that lean toward folk, some more to bluegrass, others to country, and some to psychedelic rock with overdriven tones. The quartet plays with high energy and thrives with on stage experimentation. Live, the band may unexpectedly adjust tempo, launch into an extended jam, or transition into a totally different song. The improvisation ensures no two shows are truly the same. It also ensures the boys stay alert and listen with intention to each other. Reed Brake sets consist mostly of original music, but they do throw in covers that they have adapted to fit their unique sound. The Reed Brake sound is hard to fit into a box, but it’s probably not what you expect from a band lead by acoustic guitar and mandolin.
