Composed of singer-songwriters and guitarists Taylor Holland and Heather Scott, Boston-based indie folk duo Hawthorn concoct an earthy, plaintive sound on their debut LP, Spun Open. Wandering a musical realm full of introspective wonderment, the two women bind their voices — literally and figuratively — into a cohesive vision. They sing of deeply personal experiences with love but simultaneously seem to be on the outside looking in. Pulling influence from bluegrass, old-time folk and Celtic traditions, the pair modernizes the past and romanticizes the here and now. Catch Hawthorn on Friday, August 3, at Radio Bean in Burlington.
