Folk.

Characterized by rich vocals, guitar-riffs and violin chords, Franciscan-based band Acaciawood is aimed for greater heights as its members, senior Aislin Hilgeman and alumni Brigid Ambuul and Luna Oppus, work on the band’s first album.

It has been a long jouney to get to this point, however.

“I met Luna when we were playing in the Festival of Praise band together last year, and I had met Aisy my freshman year and she and I always sang music together. We had done a couple coffeehouses,” Ambuul said.

Hilgeman said, “It started out with Brigid and I playing together, and then we recorded some of her songs one weekend in Pittsburgh.”

Hilgeman added that that initial recording session didn’t go well, but the aspiring musicians didn’t give up yet. Not long after, Ambuul asked Oppus if she would be willing to join the duo.

Oppus said Acaciawood got its official start after the three women played together at Bennigan’s restaurant in February 2022.

It wasn’t long before the band turned from covers to original music.

Ambuul said,  “Luna, Aisy, and I got together in an attic in Pittsburgh to record what would become our debut single, “Bend the Roses”. We drove away that day with a recording that was just a really low-budget thing, and we just had one microphone there that was set in the middle of the room.

“We played the song live fifteen times and then got a take we were satisfied with, and then drove back that weekend with the song.”

Staat er compleet op, 10% pars mee gepost. Met zeer veel dank aan de originele poster. Laat af en toe eens weten wat je van het album vindt. Altijd leuk, de mening van anderen. Oh ja, MP3 doe ik niet aan.
