Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

And a Child Shall Lead Them

Though they’re barely old enough to vote, Connecticut’s the McLovins are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the jam scene in years. The teenaged trio have taken the national jam circuit by storm, scoring praise from the likes of Rolling Stone and the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne, among others. And now they’re working on new material with lyricist Tom Marshall, who did good things for a little band called Phish, once upon a time. It seems the future of jam music is now … or maybe this Sunday, October 9, when the McLovins play the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge.
