Overcoats/Yoke Lore

At this point, you can pretty much count on NPR’s Tiny Desk Shows to be expertly curated for emerging, cross-genre talent – Overcoats are no exception. Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell’s intimate late March performance in support of their just-released debut album, Young, has launched the Brooklyn-based duo into the limelight as they embark on their first headlining national tour. Gorgeously harmonized, catchy and complex, these college friends incorporate elements of folk, pop, soul, and electronic music into a delicious, danceable composition – give "Leave the Light On" a listen for some proof. Accompanied by an excellent backing band (their live drummer is the very talented producer Softglas), Overcoats will bring a unclassifiable but undeniably vibrant performance to the Beachland this Friday (Lawrence Neil)
