Attention grabbing minimalism can be quite difficult to achieve in music but when you have a sweet sounding guitar and enchanting harmonies like the ones heard in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot’s newest single Let’s Be Friends…well, I say simple can be much better.
Off their latest album, Songs For Mixed Company, Let’s Be Friends is a refreshing, acoustic driven folk song featuring the sweet, scintillating harmonies of Sarah Fuerst and Phil Barry who are Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
Phil’s music has been featured on MTV, VH1, Oxygen and Showtime. He is the former touring guitarist for RCA backed talent Rachael Yamagata, currently a member of the Americana group Corn Fed Girls and was a founding member of award winning band Knee Deep Shag.
Sarah is also a member of Corn Fed Girls (upright bass and, of course, harmony), she has toured the Midwest and East Coast as part of Doxie, an indie rock band for whom she played bass.
This power duo is now delivering a potent, addictive sound in the form of Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. You can learn more and hear more music on their official website or connect with them on FB.
