Kissing Other People at Potter’s Craft Cider 10/8

Kiss and tell

Durham, North Carolina-based folk duo Viv & Riley and Nashville, Tennessee-based singer-songwriter Rachel Baiman linked up in 2022 to form the supergroup Kissing Other People. With encouragement from producer Greg Griffith, the new trio launched its project with an openness to exploration above technicality. With that ethos the group has pursued more analog, indie, and grunge sounds than any of the individual artist’s previous work, leading to exciting performances that forego perfection in service of playing the right tunes in the right place and time. Matthew McAllister & Julia Kwolyk open the show.

Wednesday 10/8. $30, 6:30pm. Potter’s Craft Cider, 1350 Arrowhead Valley Rd. frontporchcville.org
