KNOTTS wants you to know that the Queen City’s local band culture is all about community. 
Their new album “Together is a Feast,” out this Friday, aims to be about more than just soft, catchy indie tunes. 
Like the joining of hands around a bouquet on the cover, the Woodward Theater is set to become a gathering place for community art and entertainment at the end of August  a litany of local bands, artists, nonprofits and more will be showing up to support the release of KNOTTS’ new project with a blowout party for the community.

So, who’s KNOTTS anyway? 
Adalia Powell-Boehne is the vocals of the group  on tracks like “Blue Jean Ballad” or the very Mazzy Star “Green” off their upcoming album, her emotive croon is front-and-center. 
She sits at the delicate core of the project, but doesn’t smother it; she knows when to hang back and let her bandmates shine. 
And the other two-thirds of KNOTTS, guitarist Jordan Wilson and drummer Isaiah Cook, both shine in their own ways. 
On “Bookmark,” the last single from their new record, the band maintain a balancing act to not overpower Powell-Boehne’s quieter, playful delivery, while on tracks like “Green,” the hazy instrumental fills the space around her powerful voice. 
In short, I’m excited for the new record. 
If you are too, make sure to check it out this Friday and swing by the Woodward Theater August 28th.
