the everybodyfields, from Johnson City, TN are rapidly gaining a reputation as the front-runners of the newest generation of the alt-country movement. the everybodyfields offer melancholic interpretations of universal human stories set to achingly beautiful melodies. They put these interpretations to life with such instrumentation as lap steel, lead guitar, electric bass, piano and acoustic guitar. The members cite their influences as country, rock and roll, and folk. Fronted by Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews, the two share instruments and seamlessly merge their wildly different voices. Quinn's echoing twang reverberates like a long-lost radio broadcast and provides a hard edge to Andrews pure, soothing tones. Straightforward and sure, the everybodyfields are more accessible to listeners than many modern musicians. Their sets' gentle humor combined with songs about real-life sorrows demonstrate an appreciation for tradition, while at the same time conjuring up something that is not, in fact, traditional at all.
Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, Oliver Buck & The New Madrids play music that reflects the ups and downs of life in the heart of the great American Rust Belt. Their sound--a concoction of vintage-tinted Americana, blues, and Jimmie Rodgers-esque acoustic honky tonk--makes perfect sense considering that the lead singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist literally came of age going to see blues great Robert Lockwood, Jr. at his weekly gigs in Cleveland, while also growing up on a steady diet of old-school classics. Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk, Skip James, Johnny Cash, The Band, Big Bill Broonzy, John Hiatt, Jimmie Rodgers, The Grateful Dead--and lesser-known local bands like The Janglers--are just a handful of their influences.
