Wartime Blues, an eight-piece folk rock outfit, makes its home in the western mountain town of Missoula, Montana. Led by guitarist/vocalist Nate Hegyi, the band includes Ben Prez (mandolin/backup vocals), Sam Luikens (banjo/backup vocals), Lisena Brown (keys), Bethany Joyce (cello/violin), Jesse Netzloff (electric guitar), Tyler Knapp (bass) and Martin McCain (percussion). Often compared to Bruce Springsteen or the Hold Steady, Wartime Blues has garnered acclaim throughout the Rocky Mountain West since 2007 and has shared the stage with Bill Callahan, Blind Pilot, Point Juncture, WA, Graves, and Jerry Joseph, among others. The band will release their debut album, Doves & Drums, in 2010. Press: tyler[at]bantermm.com Inquiries/Booking:
