The Accidentals/Cousin Simple

The Accidentals — violinist-guitarist-bassist Sav Buist, singer-cellist-guitarist Katie Larson and drummer Michael Dause — all met in a high school orchestra program in Michigan, where the members grew up, so it makes sense that when they had a chance to record with the Cleveland-based Contemporary Youth Orchestra, they would take advantage of it. Late last year, the band came into town to cut a version of their track “Requiem for a Lark” with CYO. They recorded at the studio on Tri-C’s Metro Campus. Part of the band’s live set for the past four years, the song, a track inspired by a classical piece that members played in high school orchestra before they were in the Accidentals, lent itself to orchestration. It's likely to show up in tonight's set. (Niesel)
