SPIRE LOBBY SERIES: HANK WONDER

Presented by The Antonia and Vladimir Kulaev Cultural Heritage Fund.
This series showcases local and regional musicians in a relaxed and intimate setting. The lobby is transformed into a 70-seat showcase lounge!
Somewhere on the musical map, where the twang of Classic Country meets the grit of Southern Soul, Hank Wonder marks a detour down a sonic stretch of unpaved road. Together since 2013, the Boston-based trio of Annie Bartlett (fiddle and viola), Darren Buck (vocals), and Michael Loria (guitar) have crafted a soulful blend of Americana that’s equal parts down-home and gussied up. In 2017, they released their debut album "Little Mysteries", produced by Charlie Rose (Mike & Ruthie, Elephant Revival, Railroad Earth, Barnstar!). Two years later, the band returned to the studio with Zachariah Hickman (Josh Ritter, Rodney Crowell, Ray LaMontagne, Mark Erelli, Barnstar!) to record a follow-up. Initially stalled by the pandemic, "Waylaid" was released in 2021. Still truckin' down that stretch of road, Hank Wonder is currently cooking up a brand new batch of tunes!
