State In The Real – Penn State Music Scene

A Solid Debut: Tapestries

With their debut single, Colliding, Tapestries has hit the ground running since coming together. You may have seen this indie folk-rock trio around the State College area. The group is comprised of Olivia Price, Rashmit Arora and Zach Kramer.

If you have not listened to Colliding, you’re behind schedule. Sometimes there is just nothing better than a softly played indie-folk song like this one. The lyrics are full of the groups poised smooth vocals. You see it all the time when production and instruments overpower talented voices. I can say confidently this did not happen in Colliding.

This is not a song, that you role down your windows, scream at the top of your lungs, and speed down the highway in, but this is the type that’s enjoyable laying by tree with your favorite book and some apple cider. With Tapestries, it’s not about virtuosity or overt intensity, it’s about the human element, the story, and the lives of people. This is a group you will surely want to look out for.

They were one of many acts to perform in the Palmer Art Museum this past May at Arts Crawl. Each has been playing their own music for awhile now, and have successfully merged into writing music together. You may have even recently seen them earlier this week at Picnic at the Folk Bazaar. Make sure you check out their Facebook page for upcoming events and listen to their song posted in this article!
