Today, a guest post from Naharmama:
Getting their name from a Pixies song, Havalina, or Havalina Rail Co., is one of the more unusual bands I have heard. They’ve done a couple of concept albums, but their overall style reminds me of a combination of jazz, rockabilly, Americana, blues, gospel, and plain-old rock n’ roll. Lead band member Matt Wignall describes them: “We are a hybrid of traditional American music including folk, blues, and jazz, with a streak of Brazilian and a lot of Les Baxter and Henri Mancini. We tend to write pop music in a rather orchestral fashion.” (inmusicwetrust.com) Though no longer recording or touring, Havalina is a fun, eclectic mix of sounds anyone would love to have in their collection.
