Live Music: Beggar's Caravan
09/25/2010 - 10:30pm
Band founders Chris Barkley and Kevin Thornton gathered no moss after they met in Boone, NC, as they swiftly rolled downhill to the Triangle area to start a musical journey that continues to surprise even them. The pair rounded up the accomplished duo of drummer Brandon Allen and bassist Paul Benner to complete the Caravan family tree.
The band’s first studio album, Take Me With You, finds the group performing at a creative peak, both in the studio and at their widely-acclaimed live shows. The tracks instantly capture the listener and carry you along life’s familiar roads. Influences such as Tom Petty, Nick Drake, Wilco, Steve Miller, and the Allman Brothers wind their way into this beautiful musical ride, from the intimate to the raucous to tongue-in-cheek wit.
