Front Country w/Elonzo Wesley @ Evening Muse
THUR – 3/5 | TICKETS
In today’s crowded musical landscape, it’s hard enough to develop a unique and recognizable sound that can set you apart.
Front Country is a band comprised of multi-instrumentalists, songwriters and composers.
For a band with a genre in their name, their music is a hybrid sound rooted in Americana and traditional music with bluegrass and pop elements also in the mix. They call it “roots pop” and its easy to agree with them. As you dig in to their music, you might also hear moments that feel like the classic rock of Fleetwood Mac or the Police, as well as the modern country sounds of the Dixie Chicks or Chris Stapleton.
They’ll be supported by Charlotte based Americana and Folk act Elonzo Wesley
