COLUMBIA — Like every other artist in the world, Admiral Radio found its plans dashed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Created in the vein of folk duos like The Civil Wars, Watchhouse and Chatham Rabbits, the husband-and-wife team of Rebecca Smith and Coty Hoover were just months away from releasing their debut album when the pandemic struck, dashing their touring and promotion plans and throwing their lives into temporary disarray.
But over the last few years, the duo has taken on renewed focus and found some success through a steady stream of singles and videos (which has included placement on prominent Spotify editorial playlists like "Newgrass" and "Bluegrass Covers"), national songwriting competitions and strategic touring that has them poised to make the most of their increasingly formidable songwriting and performing chops.
The promise of the group comes into sharp relief on its latest single, "Love You Somehow." The group has an elegantly shot music video for the new tune directed by Daniel Machado (The Restoration) and featuring longtime local musician Dave Holder, but it's the lyricism itself that lands the deepest punch.
Whether it's a night of girly-pop music with Chappell Roan and a cruise down memory lane with The Steve Miller Band, there's a concert for every type of music lover in Columbia next month. Read more Concert roundup: What shows are coming to Columbia in June?
