The Mighty High and Dry
"I Was Living Here"
Self-released
Soulful Rochester rockers The Mighty High and Dry have struck a nerve on its new single, "I Was Living Here." With guest vocals by roots rocker Brian Lindsay and soul singer Danielle Ponder, each weighing in on a verse, the band addresses nascent issues like the Dakota Access Pipeline and Black Lives Matter. Despite the subjects' frustrations, it proves good music can confront bad times — and that good music should confront bad times.
The Mighty High and Dry is a classic Americana band; heartfelt and heartbreaking. It's more rain than sunshine. Led by keyboardist and guitarist Alan Murphy, The Mighty High and Dry is a band of exquisite potency due to its strength among the ranks. The songs cut deep on everything from love, love lost, and love to come again — there's a reminiscence of Ryan Adams but more willing to get down and reckless.
Murphy says to keep your eyes peeled for a video treatment of this song in a few weeks. If The Band is the question, then The Mighty High and Dry is the answer.
