In an unexpected treat, duo Future History started their set not from the stage but scattered among the crowd and to hear the unmiked voice and instrument was a refreshing shift from the other acts. For the second song they took the stage and the difference in sound when supported by technology was remarkable. Future History happily excel in both situations and their combined musical talent drove the songs forward, with added assistance from the cajon that create a sound that ideally complement the acoustic guitar. Their third song had an increased use of technology as the percussion was recorded and played on a loop to create a kaleidoscope of sound. The first electronic instrument was introduced with an electric tone that provided an excellent counterpoint to the guitar which was soon added. The amounts of varied sounds that these two artists combine make their music uniquely fascinating. Many of their songs are a guy and his guitar with a side of drums, but the alternatives offered are what help set this band apart.
