BoDeans at Assembly in Harriman on May 5 brings one of the more underappreciated catalogs in American roots-rock to the Hudson Valley. The Milwaukee band’s jangly, heartland sound — anchored by “Closer to Free” and “Fadeaway” — defined a particular strain of late-’80s and ’90s rock that was too earnest for the alternative crowd and too smart for the mainstream. They fell between the cracks of genre and radio format, which is often where the best bands end up.
Assembly in the Hudson Valley provides an intimate setting that suits where BoDeans are at this stage of their career — a room where the songs connect with an audience that remembers why they loved this music and discovers why it still holds up.
