Roots Rednecks and Radicals

The Dead Winter Carpenter are a band from Lake Tahoe. They have been making music in Northern California/Nevada for ten years now, and have become an incredible live act. Their music draws from many influences including bluegrass, rock, and classic country. The last few years have seen them release incredible music, as well as grace the stage with well known Americana acts around the country. They are making a name for themselves as a stalwart live act and making fans wherever they go. They played a concert in downtown Carson City NV this last week and I got to chat with their lead singer Jesse before the show. We talked about their music and their history as a band, and where they are headed in the future.

I got a chance to chat with Nikki Barber of The Minks recently and we chatted about their newest release coming out on Cafe Rooster Records. It's a great album with a really unique sound. Nikki has all kinds of cool influences that you can hear in her songwriting ranging from Led Zeppelin to Patty Smith. The music has a 70s Rock Psychedelic feel that blends well with a modern alt-country sound. They're a really cool band, check em out!
