Sons of Fathers – the band whose songwriting and harmonies
have earned them comparisons to Mumford & Sons, Dawes, and Crosby, Still
& Nash with an infusion of Texas grease – will perform at Hill Country
Barbecue May 17 and debut the new, harder-edged material from the second Sons
of Fathers album coming this summer. The band just completed final mixes in Nashville
with Vance Powell (Jack White's 'Blunderbuss,' Chris Thile, The White Stripes,
The Dead Weather). Powell approached Sons of Fathers after seeing them live at
an in-store at Grimey's Record Store in Nashville, TN and asked if he could be
involved.
Check out video of new songs:
They have cemented their "breakout" (Austin
Chronicle) status with a Next segment on NPR's World Café, a Daytrotter session
taping, and a slot at Relix Magazine's SXSW party. They were also named one of
"12 to watch in 2012" by eMusic, which called last year's self-titled
debut album "terrific" and "barn-burning," continuing,
"nothing can take away the songwriting duo's brotherly harmonies, their
band's ruckus-raising live shows, and finely-honed, geographically-inspired
tunes." The Austin Chronicle wrote a feature on the band as one of their
picks for Austin bands to see at SXSW.
Aspen, CO's KSPN radio said, "You guys are like Mumford
& Sons but with half the members and twice the sound."
