About
Davidson Hart Kingsbery
The first thing you see when you enter a Davidson Hart Kingsbery show is motion, though it might not immediately be the fingers of guitarist Dean Johnson or drummer Mason Lowe shuffling the band along, or Hart himself leaning into the microphone. Instead, you'll probably notice the blur of checked shirts, the flash of pearl buttons in the dim light, or maybe the boots of couples two-stepping and scuffing the dance floor. Eventually, and god-willing, you may even notice your own feet start to pick up the beat.Which all makes sense considering the band's roots. Bass Guitarist Eric Himes and Hart, formerly of Hart and the Hurricane, joined Dean and Mason to start playing underground parties for the country dance crowd. One glimpse of their relationship with the crowd at their shows reveals how that legacy continues.
At its best, music (both the listening and the playing) is a kind of survival tactic, and the music of Davidson Hart Kingsbery holds the promise of those summer nights when every half-cracked garage door or patio strung with lights seems like an open invitation. But just as much, it wards off the drizzly winter, when the cramped and swaying back room of Hattie's Hat might seem like the only warm place in the city.
