The Denver City Saltlicks
The Denver City Saltlicks, DCS, have been in the Denver music scene as of late 2004. They write original tunes that have that old time feel. You'd swear you were sittin' on your grandma's front porch drinking whiskey iced tea watching the sun bounce off the family still. Ahh..... They also revamp some old traditional tunes with their unique style. With the genre of the band being bluegrass at it's core, they drown the songs with rock, punk, and surf tendencies. You do not want to miss a Denver City Saltlick show, because with these characters, anything can happen. You will never see a band have so much fun on stage. They seriously start a party. 'Bama Slim largely makes this band what it is. He fronts with his Mandobird or amped ukulele with a gentle yet screaming presence. He brings a real "metal-grass" sound that could rip through steel. Cate Hate, who is 'Bama's sister, actually rips through steel on her washboard. With her punk rock background she brings a real fuck you mentality. Does this girl have bloody knuckles...yes! Dray serves a beat down on the drums and won't take no for an answer. Oh, get daddy a beer! And, George on bass. He rounds it out sweetly with his rich tone. Perfection... The band's sound comes from anywhere and everywhere. "It sounds like someone spit in your daiquiri and threw dirt in your eyes, but in a good way." says Cate. This band is perfectly mixed with folk/punk/bluegrass/surf/rock/, "but it's pure Olde-Tyme Core. It's anything you want it to be, but we want it to be something that kicks up your heels." The Denver City Saltlicks have a sound that is familiar, but a sound you've never heard. Their family feel and fun party attitude comes through in every song. Surprisingly, it comes together quite smoothly and the unique after taste will linger way after the night is over.
Casey James Prestwood and The Burning Angels
"If Manuel Nudie (Nashville's infamous nudie suit tailor) could create a band to represent his rhinestone studded, paisley colored suits worn by all country stars past and present, Casey James Prestwood and The Burning Angels would be it. In fact that's exactly what happened in 2006 when Manuel Nudie suggested that very name to Casey while he was working on Casey's black "burning angel" suit. Since then Casey and the Angels have refined a sound drenched in the honest twang that made Gram Parsons and Hanks Williams household names, the classic crooner's carefree vocals and classic country arrangements feel more like country than a worn-in nudie suit."
A.M. Arscott (of Bone Orchard Revival)
Reared in the dusky twilight of Michigan industry and baptized on its haunted shores, Bone Orchard Revival offers Sunday morning lovesick hymnals to break your back and harmonies to mend it, with siren songs sweet and sultry as a Saturday night.
At once angels' trumpets and devils' trombones, Adam M. Arscott and company deliver olde-time country, gospel and blues-influenced songs steeped in love, loss, desire and delicious strangers. Bone Orchard Revival's sound is laden with high lonesome harmonies, ethereal melodies and an unyielding sense of reverence for the trails blazed by those who have hoisted this rag before them. The listener will swoon with that familiar glow as undertones and influences rear their heads, from the Carter Family to Tom Waits, The Handsome Family to Willie Nelson, the strings of Nashville to the line workers of Detroit. Songs unfold like travelogues, revealing steam engine days long gone, heads full with whiskey, ghost moons over sleeping cities, salvation for the sinner and those all too frequent evenings when you wind up using parking meters as walking sticks.
Bone Orchard Revival features Scott Waknin (drums), Grant Netzorg (lead guitar), Erich Harbowy (bass) and Nicole Morris (vocals).
With music like the patent medicines of days past, Bone Orchard Revival may just be the cure for what ails your weary modern soul.
Review of 'Hush Money Hymnals' album from Current magazine, Ann Arbor MI:
"Stark and theatric, yarn-spinning ditties rapt with the heartbroken haunting of southern blues, Americana and roots revival, Bone Orchard Revival presents Hush Money Hymnals (from '08, on Sinister Soul). Beautiful harmonies, jangled guitars and the shivery accoutrements of chimes, bass booms and light trodden percussion like a locomotive (cotton fields are generally flat). Adam M. Arscott and Jeni Lee Richey cast a flavorful, sepia-toned scene of twilight balladry, with the smell of a crackling bonfire and the capricious melodic wave of a ghost drifting through cavernous rooms of a house. George Jones, Townes Van Zandt and Tom Waits are inevitable reference points for this duo, both very passionate and talented contributors to Ann Arbor's
unique folk/rock scene. (Key tracks: "Three Bottle Betty" and "Ahab's Wife.")"
