Saturday, November 2, 8 p.m., Milliken Auditorium
The Harmaleighs are Haley Grant (lead vocals and guitar) and Kaylee Jasperson (bass and backup vocals). They honestly craft poetic, passionate, and powerful songs cut from a pastiche of indie, folk, pop and Americana. Past versions of the band have been sparser, but the group’s newest album, She Won’t Make Sense, explores new territory in sound and subject matter. The album deals directly with Haley’s mental health, documenting the many forms depression can take. “Anthem for the Weak” introduces Haley’s anxiety. “It’s that dialogue with your inner self and how at times it feels like that inner voice has more control over you than you do.”
As always, NMC student tickets are free and should be obtained through the Dennos or NMC Student Life.
Presented in partnership with Interlochen Center for the Arts
