Music of the Mountains: Where to be and what to see -- Rob Pate and Erin Gael Friedman of d'Lovelies

At its largest, d’Lovelies performs as a seven-piece group: Rob Pate on guitar and vocals, Erin Gael Friedman on vocals, Duane Webster on bass and vocals, Ryan McCurry on keys, Mike McCloskey on saxophone, Nate Bitter on trombone, and Colin Mahoney on drums.

Often, the band plays in venues that aren’t big enough for the entire seven-piece to fit. To work around this, they rehearse and even perform in sections, including as duos and trios. When they can, though, they bring the whole lineup to perform ragtime, blues, original Americana, New Orleans R&B, and even Brazilian and Cuban rhythmic influences.

The group has been building momentum since they started performing together in December of 2023, even recording their debut album, Great Horizon, in August of 2024.
