Jess Harp

JESS HARP, ADAM FAUCETT
THURSDAY 5/5. White Water Tavern. 8:30 p.m. $10.  

Or, “a study in two ethereal voices.” If road warrior Adam Faucett’s otherworldly howl is made of grit and earth, Jess Harp’s breezy delivery is made of air and clouds, as is evident on “Jessy Baby Forever,” Harp’s May 5 release on the Fayetteville-based Gar Hole Records.

Like fellow labelmate Nick Shoulders, Harp’s croon is a pristine one, and one which Harp honed through years of choral singing and later, across the basements and dimly lit rooms of the Northwest Arkansas DIY scene. That voice is framed these days as the centerpiece of a soaring full band sound; see “I Took a Drive,” recorded at Fayetteville’s East Hall Recording Studio. It’s lush, gorgeous stuff, a confection of a contrast to Faucett’s sage, haunting wail.
