The Mimbres Region Arts Council, in conjunction with premier sponsor Cissy McAndrew/United County Mimbres Realty, announces the second of four Indie/Folk series concerts for the 2015-16 season. Acoustic duo Tall Heights takes the stage Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 7:30 pm at the Buckhorn Opera House, in the scenic mountain town of Pinos Altos- just a 10-minute drive from Silver City. The MRAC Indie/Folk Series showcases unique and emerging talent that reflects the ever-expanding boundaries of the "Folk" genre.

Two quirky personalities, Tim Harrington and Paul Wright, blend together perfectly for the most beautiful, artistic portrayal of music. Tim and Paul have known each other since third grade. After graduating from different colleges, Harrington's and Wright's paths converged again in Boston, where they formed Tall Heights in 2010. This East Coast duo produces captivating vocal harmonies accompanied by folk-inspired cello and acoustic guitar. The seriousness with which they approach their craft is obvious in the lush, intimate and haunting atmosphere they create.

Harrington and Wright paved their way by playing in front of Boston's Faneuil Hall while soliciting money. "We have a hard time thinking of ways that it didn't benefit our music," Harrington says. "It was tons and tons of hours of experience in a very concentrated period of time." Performing on the street taught Harrington and Wright how to grab people's attention with just two instruments and the harmonious blend of their voices, often compared to Simon & Garfunkel. Don't miss out on the chance to hear Tall Heights at the historic and intimate Buckhorn Opera House.

The Mimbres Region Arts Council would also like to thank the Holiday Inn Express and the Buckhorn Opera House for their generous support.
