Say Hi to Your Mom

Say Hi, previously Say Hi To Your Mom have some of my favourite indie rock tunes in their catalogue of hits. Eric Ebson is an incredibly talented musician, who plays every instrument on his tracks, and also sings vocals. In performance however, he guests in other band members to support him. Ebson’s influences of Vampires is evident in his fourth album, and is the first album where his lyrical talent becomes so poignant.
Hearing his lyrics live, such as from songs like November was White, December was Grey, from Oohs & Aahs become that much more noticeable when performed live, and their meaning seemed to resonate deeper than hearing it pre recorded on a soundtrack.
Seeing them live shows the extent of Ebson’s talent. The show required 4 band members to play a track that Ebson had previously recorded on his own in his home studio. A new life comes into his music when it’s played with other band members, not that it’s necessarily any better, it’s a refreshing way to listen to his incredible sound. All of the guest band members were completely enthused by the show, and it was evident that they were passionate about Say Hi’s music.
