Akron/Family have got to be one of the best live acts around. These guys put on an outstanding live show full of echoing psychedelic folk and delightful experimentation. Each time I’ve seen them, they’ve totally interacted with the crowd and always incite a hoedown. With insanely unique harmonies and an eccentric selection of instruments, Akron/Family can create beautiful music using no more than a creaking chair or the white noise of a television (they did it on their self-titled debut).

Los Angeles well have the chance to witness all the greatness of Akron/Family when they head to the Echo on Wednesday, April 16 in support of their awesome new album, Akron/Family II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT. The band will be supported by Delicate Steve (aka songwriter/producer Steve Marion) and tickets to the show are only $12! But thanks to good people at the Echo, we have some tickets to give away to some fans!
