(State College, PA)-‐-‐We are very excited to welcome Cabinet to The State Theatre
auditorium for the first time on Friday, September 25th! Doors will open at 7pm,
with the music beginning at 8pm.
Cabinet is a band with roots firmly planted in the Appalachian tradition. They wear their influences like badges, honoring the canon of roots, bluegrass, country, and folk, weaving these sounds into a patchwork Americana quilt. But this music isn’t romanticizing or rehashing the past. Cabinet makes its mark on today. The steady aim of their harmonies soar straight onto target each time, the soaring vocals giving voice to the story of each song. Their music takes the long way home, treating its listeners like passengers on a ride through scenic back roads. Their live shows are inclusive, celebratory, and community-‐building.
Members Pappy Biondo (banjo, vocals), J.P. Biondo (mandolin, vocals), Mickey
Coviello (acoustic guitar, vocals), Dylan Skursky (electric bass, double bass), Todd Kopec (fiddle, vocals), and Jami Novak (drums, percussion), all live and love music, and aren’t afraid to show it.
Cabinet formed in 2006, bringing together players from various musical and
personal backgrounds. Some of the members were barely old enough to drink
legally, but their thirst for older music was unquenchable. Whether its rustic
"American Beauty"-‐era Grateful Dead or old-‐timey bluegrass, Cabinet has digested it all. But that is not to say that Cabinet recreates older styles. No, this is music that might have its roots in the past, but it is current and vibrant, with a sense of celebrating the now.
