One more band playing C3 at Lambert's Wednesday. I'll let him describe them.:
“We are a Hillbilly band out of Southwest Michigan who plays with a very but hardly traditional sound. In the world of today we would be called Americana, for there are no songs about Trucks or beer. We do our own songs with lyrical content ranging from the epidemic of Crystal Methamphetamine to story’s of youth, family and love. Through our music, we try to inspire truth, a simple yet lost concept of the world we know today. through our performance, you will hear hints of Bluegrass, Rock, Country Western and maybe even Metal music for our inspiration and backgrounds vary quite differently. This band is made up of all family and close friends from a part of the world that is often overlooked but holds some of the hardest working men and women of the United States. We aim for a raw honest sound and try to channel days that are gone by being us, not sticking to a stereotypical recipe that is so often supported and held high, and by doing that we come out with an old-timey but relevant noise that we hope translates to all.”
He says in this interview: “More than anything, I love the country musicians like Waylon Jennings and George Jones, and I try to replicate Johnny Cash all the time,” he conceded.
He's just 20 or 21. Here he is playing his song "Lesley" when he was 18 for his Tiny Desk Concert submission. Here is the band performing live for Dogtown Studio Sessions. Good stuff.
This is off his debut EP titled "Just Another Asshole with a Guitar". Good title.
