Strangled Darlings, Mike Coykendall
Lit Up
Portland, Ore.’s Strangled Darlings are well versed in classic literature. Indeed, the duo’s very name is inspired by author William Faulkner: He would demand of his writing students, “strangle your darlings.” The influence of scribes from Faulkner to Gabriel García Márquez is evident in the duo’s own writing. But couched in a rootsy swirl of mandolin, cello and vocal harmony that’s both lively and delicate, the Darlings’ music is as accessible as it is high minded. Catch them at the Monkey House in Winooski on Saturday, October 3, with songwriter Mike Coykendall.
