ARO | The LOW LOW @ Leigh Sawmill Cafe
Mar 9 @ 9:30 pm
Aro and the Low Low at the Sawmill Cafe

ARO are a husband & wife soul-pop duo who are travelling the country sharing their stories in song. Having just completed a campground tour they are now bringing the vibes to Leigh Sawmill.

Harking to the incisive alt-pop of St. Vincent, the plaintive 60s-influenced melodies of Harry Nilsson, and the inventive vocal work of Kate Bush, The LOW LOW brings a buoyant, off-kilter approach to classic pop.
