Days & Nights - "Letting Go"

I discovered this band on Tik Tok, as a duet from singer Heather Hoeft singing Noah Cyrus’ “July” found it’s way to my for you page. Her voice was clear and true and immediately pulled my folk/americana sensibilities.

Formed by a group of friends who met in music school, Days & Nights began as a vehicle for philanthropy but soon developed into a foremost creative project for six young musicians. While the six cover a diverse expanse of the music industry as individuals, Days & Nights continues to be the place where these close friends reunite to create music for the pure joy of it. Their influences stem primary from the genres of Americana/Folk and Jazz. The lineup first came together in 2016 when songwriter Luke Hoeft, multi-instrumentalist John Burton, and trumpeter Stephen Spink met as university music students and began having jam sessions. Singer Heather Hoeft, violinist Helena Bandy, and percussionist Ian Houston rounded out the roster, and Days & Nights spent the next three years performing around central Texas and self-producing various singles including "Letting Go" (2017) and "Coming Home" (2017). The group’s debut album "So Much To Say" was released in May of 2019, under the band’s original name, “Medicine Man”. The album release was followed by a southeast tour in June 2019. Days & Nights is currently working on their second studio album, set to release sometime in the summer of 2020.

So today, with a sweet little goodbye blowing on the breeze I choose, Days & Nights’ “Letting Go” as my, go on and fly, take your rusted wing and leap, let go of the chains you created, song for a, sunlight in your eyes, stardust in your hair, miracles coming to your pillow, Wednesday.
