Q: What happens when indie rock kids decide to play country and bluegrass music?
A: Axton Kincaid

Axton Kincaid is a band (not a person) that calls San Francisco, CA home. Armed with gritty female vocal harmonies, soaring pedal-steel guitar, and a sassy mandolin, their songs about love, loss, and drinking drip ever so sweetly into your ears. They serve as a perfect accompaniment for beer, whiskey, or whatever you prefer.

The band’s wonderful “indiegrass” sound begs me to ask the questions that I’ve been asking for a few years now: “Why am I drawn to roots music in the same way that I am to punk rock? What do they have in common?” Whatever the answer, Axton Kincaid’s recently released debut album Songs From The Pine Room is definitely worth your time. It is out now on Free Dirt Records.
