b'Hiss Golden Messenger is a true testament to the musicianship that resides in the Triangle. Both in a live setting and on the record, Hiss Golden Messenger is a roll call of many of the great musicians who come together under Durham songwriter M.C. Taylor and Brooklyn recordist Scott Hirsch to make something incredible. The albums are a careful work of genius that brings together a wide range of genres that together scream \\u201cNorth Carolina.\\u201d Their most recent effort Haw brings together some of the best of the best to create their fullest, most beautiful album yet. Seeing Hiss Golden Messenger at their show at Haw River Ballroom was such an incredible treat. The Triangle came together for a night of music led by some of the giants of the local scene who brought to life this music that is so wholly North Carolina.'
