Live Music with The Frost Heaves & HaLeS (duo set)

Join The LAVA Center for live music with members of The Frost Heaves & HaLeS during May’s Greenfield Arts Walk!

The Frost Heaves & HaLeS have been crafting confections you eat with your ears ever since erupting from the wilds of Western Massachusetts in 2005. More than just a gig, every Heaves show is an occasion. The band’s performances have incorporated poetry readings, video projection, theater, breakdancing action figures and more. The band’s songbook includes some 100 original tunes and more than three dozen covers — many of them written or selected for special occasions like movie screenings and tribute nights. Visit their website here.

Performing in May will be singer and guitarist Daniel Hales and and bassist James Lowe.

Band leader Daniel Hales is an inventive poet, songwriter, singer, and strummer equally at home performing solo. Daniel’s lyrics have frequently been singled out for praise. Northeast Performer wrote, “Hales artfully plays with the duality of words in the English language, creating lyrics that are both smart and memorable.” Impact Press called Daniel’s lyrics “nothing short of brilliant.”

Bassist James Lowe masterminds many of the song arrangements, layering string, horn, keyboard and drum machine textures.
