TopHouse

Nashville-based indie quartet TopHouse will bring its plaintive yet energetic take on folk rock to Lansing Saturday evening (March 15) with a headlining performance at Grewal Hall. Doors will open at 7 p.m., with the show beginning at 8 p.m.

The band is playing at Grewal Hall as part of a tour supporting its recent EP, “Practice.” The EP is half of a conceptual duo, standing opposite to last year’s “Theory.” The two are intended to present a dichotomy between ideals and reality.

A Feb. 26 review of the tour by Rachel Thomas of the digital magazine Americana Highways said the band “easily established themselves with the crowd.” The band “quipped back and forth throughout the night,” the review continued, “treating interludes like additional opportunities for entertainment.”

Supporting TopHouse is opening act The Wildwoods, a Nebraska-based folk trio made up of a husband-and-wife duo plus a mutual friend. The group will release its fourth album on April 11 and will embark on a headlining tour as soon as the TopHouse tour is finished, which includes a date in Ann Arbor but will not make it to Lansing.

Tickets for Saturday’s show range from $30 to $40 and can be purchased at hall244.com. For more information on each of the bands, visit tophousetheband.com and thewildwoodsband.com.
