Harmonic convergence
Notice that one of the opening acts for Lord Huron’s Aug. 9 show at the Meadow Brook Amphitheatre in Rochester Hills, Michigan is Jackamo.
The Detroit-area band is anchored by Alison and Tessa Wiercioch, who happen to be cousins, in a roundabout way, to LH’s front man.
It goes like this: Alison and Tessa are the granddaughters of a first-cousin of mine - and the daughters of my goddaughter, who is also godmother to LH’s front man. Yeah, we’re a close-knit bunch.
Benjamin has been trying to make this happen for a while and no doubt put in a good word for Jackamo, but I’ve seen the band perform several times and have no doubt they can pull this off in fine style.
They write their own songs and their singing is a perfect example of the unique musical chemistry that happens when the voices of two siblings mesh perfectly into a single sound.
This will be fun.
