Page France performs "Junkyard"

Page France is the brainchild of Michael Nau, a Maryland native whose songwriting recalls as much Mark Twain as it does Sufjan Stevens. Using Nau’s off kitler songs as a template, Page France began recording earlier this decade with the help of the various musicians who fill out Nau’s vision. With the use of banjo, glockenspiel, and other instruments in addition to the standard rock lineup, the band creates a sound invoking American gothic stories with jangly indie folk. Their recently released fifth recording Page France and the Family Telephone refines their sound with subtlety and simplicity while also showcasing Nau’s profound lyrics. Page France performs at Mohawk Place on Wednesday (July 11) at 8pm. Cassi Meyerhoffer and Nick Gordon open the show.
