Riding the tide of male-female singer-songwriter duos, Austin, TX’s The Wind and The Wave splits the difference between the boot-stomping roots-rock of Shovels & Rope and the shimmering indie-pop of Cults, equally adept with an original barnstormer like “With Your Two Hands” and an achingly sincere cover of Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars.” Critics called The Wind and The Wave’s debut, From the Wreckage, one of 2014’s most under-appreciated albums, so here’s your chance to see the group ahead of what could be its breakout, Happiness Is Not a Place, coming later this year from Island Records. Genre-hopping Georgia artist Butch Walker headlines, and Suzanne Santo of bluegrass duo HoneyHoney opens.
