Local roots-rocker Reed Turchi earned the title “kudzu boogie” for the gritty and snarling brand of Americana that he and his band, Turchi, perform. Meanwhile, North Florida-based guitarist Daryl Hance (formerly of JJ Grey & Mofro) has a sound oft-compared to the watery lowlands of his home state. “Daryl Hance’s music is appropriately swampy. The sweltering jams are thick with humidity,” said Free Times in Columbia, SC. So the two acts combined their Southern-evocative styles for the Kudzu Swamp Spectacular co-bill. Hance’s new release, Land of Trembling Earth, has been called “stout and shout, let it all hang out sing-alongs” while Turchi’s Can’t Bury Your Past takes its cues from around the deep South as well as Western North Carolina. Turchi and Daryl Hance perform at The Grey Eagle on Thursday, Oct. 16, at 9 p.m. $10 advance/$12 day of show. thegreyeagle.com. Turchi photo courtesy of the band
