Image It’s the voice of singer/songwriter Cashes Rivers that immediately pulls you in – it’s sad and mournful and aching, but also hopeful and sweet.  After that voice, though, you get some nice, lush instrumentation and arrangement (courtesy of some of Des Moines’ best local musicians).

Horns and vocal effects on songs like “Beep Beep” punctuate the poignant lyrics, and the lush introductory keys of “When it Rains” let you know you’re in for something special, and it doesn’t disappoint – the fading vocals and electronic beats at the end leave you wistful and wanting more.

Cashes Rivers also hand draws the cover to every CD he sells – how cool is that?

 

Catch Cashes Rivers at GDP on Saturday, April 11th at 8:45 in the Grand Ballroom of Hotel Fort Des Moines.
