At a certain point, you begin to suspect she has a double – even a fleet of Lara Hopes and Ark-Tones that she sends out simultaneously along various national circuits, coordinated to ensure that the plausibility of it being one band is never completely challenged. This hardest-working band spent most of 2018 on the road, both in Europe and in the US, touring with some of their musical heroes, including a six-week national tour with the Brian Setzer Orchestra and regional tours with the Blasters and the Reverend Horton Heat. While all current evidence suggests that Lara and the boys are somewhere in the Midwest right now, and maintaining a Southwestern tack, Colony claims that the region’s premier roots-rock and rockabilly band, Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones, will be in Woodstock on Saturday, September 7 with Woodstock blues and garage-rock legends Big Sister in support. Tickets cost $12 in advance, $15 at the door.
