Human Bell

play at Miss Peapod’s, 8pm April 30th
with support from Red River Dialect

The Aramaic language had an expression – Ephaphatha, to be opened, as a portal. That ability to be open, to listen completely and communicate purely is at the heart of Human Bell. Dave Heumann and Nathan Bell’s gorgeous guitar duets form an instrumental canvas painted in the warm colored hues of folk and rock music, and simultaneously a blank canvas for the listeners themselves to paint. Their songs are delicately crafted with an immaculate clarity, expressiveness, and most of all, openness.

Human Bell will be performing as a three piece at our show. Nathan Bell and Dave Heumann will be joined by Peter Townsend (of many Bonnie Billy tours and albums) on drums…
