about

[Darts & Arrows is a] Chicago quartet that takes folk/pop instrumentals and turns them into improvised explorations. Instrumental pop music – if such a thing can exist – is rare to hear played live, and played well, rarer still, but MacKay’s compositions are much more nuanced than your typical jamband.'
