Caffè Lena @ SPAC: Darlingside

Acclaimed indie-folk trio Darlingside brings its signature blend of intricate harmonies, inventive arrangements, and literary-minded songwriting back to Spa Little Theater. 

Praised by NPR for its “exquisitely arranged, literary minded, baroque folk-pop,” the group creates richly layered soundscapes that reward close listening. The Massachusetts-based band met at Williams College as students and has since gained a global following for their elegant compositions, graduate-level songwriting, and lush, atmospheric melodies.

Darlingside’s return to the newly renovated Spa Little Theater is in partnership with Caffè Lena, where the band has performed regularly since debuting there as part of an emerging artist series in 2013.

Tickets go on sale to the public on November 13 at 10AM.

While SPAC Member presales are not applicable, you will enjoy exclusive discounted ticket pricing at checkout.

Please note: Ticket prices will go up by $4 at the door on event day.

DON MITCHELL
AUYON MUKHARJI
HARRIS PASELTINER

Darlingside is a Boston-based indie folk band now exclusively performing as a tight-knit trio comprising Don Mitchell, Auyon Mukharji, and Harris Paseltiner. Formed at Williams College, the group has earned widespread acclaim from outlets like NPR, Rolling Stone, and The New Yorker for their lush sonic landscapes, intricate polyrhythms, and signature democratic songwriting process. 

At the core of Darlingside’s enduring identity is their breathtaking vocal harmony. Their catalog is defined by an extraordinary unity of voices, and the trio continues to weave seamless, intricately arranged vocal textures in their live performances and upcoming new music. 

Following the departure of founding member Dave Senft, the trio has embraced a fresh chapter, dynamically reinterpreting their rich catalog on stage while looking toward future releases. With their meticulous musicianship, evocative storytelling, and luminous harmonies, Darlingside remains a singular force in modern acoustic music.
