ENTERTAINMENT DETAILS

The Flutter & Wow - 6:30 p.m.
The Flutter & Wow are husband and wife duo Tasha and Brian Lord. Known for their captivating stage presence, they merge tight vocal harmonies and infectious rhythms into their Americana infused country music.
Name: The Flutter and Wow
Performing since: March 2011
Home base: Detroit
Style of music: Alt-Americana
Members: Tasha Lord, Brian Lord, Takashi Iio, Larry Labeck, Brandon Husken (lineup varies but this is the lineup for AASF)
Band name backstory: Flutter and Wow is in essence audio frequency "wobble." This name was chosen after hearing an Elvis Costello tune of the same name. He likened aspects of analogue recording and playback to a deep surprising love. Probably his only really happy love song-and very clever in the usual Costello style. Brian and I are humble acolytes to the world's great songwriters, and he is high on that list.
Day jobs: I'm the only one with a non-music related day job, I also work in research. I can't seem to kick the habit and I also do a decent amount of commercial and promotional work.
Favorite road food: Veggie juice, pretzels, cereal, and eventually something chocolate nefariously purchased from a gas station.
Favorite stage outfit: A mini-dress and 4 inch stelletos...and i'm entirely speaking for myself here. With the boys there is a lot of plaid, western shirts, and sharp fitted blazers and vests.
Musical hero: Brandi Carlile, Elvis Costello, Ian Moore..the list goes on and on.
