Front Country<\/a>, a Roots Pop band out of the San Francisco Bay Area heads into New York this week for three shows in NYC, Albany and Nelson. NPR <\/a>has recently said of these musicians “In the bluegrass<\/a> world, musicians tend to define themselves by their tradition and discipline. But Front Country is defined by its no-rules approach.”<\/p>\n

With acoustic string instruments, the group finds a way to combined acoustic sound with pop songwriting, the byproduct being both complicated yet infectious. Their most recent release Other Love Songs<\/em><\/a> has emotional songs throughout, with lead singer Melody Walker penning 8 of the 12 tracks<\/p>\n

\u201cThese songs follow the lessons that everyone learns in their own personal evolution toward emotional maturity and vulnerability,\u201d says Melody Walker, \u201cin which all of us learn to break down toxic romantic fairy tales and write our own Other Love Songs that work for real people in the real world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catch Front Country this week across New York. Thursday the 7th they’ll be at American Beauty in NYC, Friday they are at The Egg in Albany supporting Darlingside, and Saturday they play The Nelson Odeon in Nelson, NY.<\/p>\n
