SUMMARY:Arts on Tour - Damn Tall Buildings
DESCRIPTION:In their early days\, Damn Tall Buildings didn’t rehearse – they busked. From the beginning to the present\, whether live or on record\, the trio still radiates the excitement of a crew of best friends playing bluegrass on the street. Anchoring that energy is their instrumental chops\, their strong songwriting\, and their varied influences that stretch beyond bluegrass\, even beyond American roots music altogether. Always witty and engaging\, their music finds beauty and glory in the mundane struggle of everyday life. Whether sharing lead vocals and instrumental solos or blending their voices into high-spirited harmony\, Damn Tall Buildings is a tight unit that contains more than the sum of its parts. \n  \nAdults: $32\, Students: $24 \nTicket purchase options: \nOrder online: Buy tickets now \nOrder by phone: Call (208) 732-6288 \nPurchase in Person:\nCSI Fine Arts Center Box Office\n315 Falls Avenue in Twin Falls\nMonday-Friday\, 9am-5pm\n6:30pm-7:30pm on performance nights
