| RED HOUSE RECORDS IS PLEASED to
announce the signing of up-and-coming duo The Pines. Composed
of Iowa natives David Huckfelt and Benson Ramsey, The Pines
combine roots, blues and indie-rock to create a raw, haunting
sound that is inventive and compelling. The son of Greg Brown's
producer and sideman Bo Ramsey, Benson was reared on folk
and blues music and continues to let those influences shine,
even on louder electric songs. Like Benson, David also has
a deep love for traditional music, and together the two of
them craft music that evokes the ancient while incorporating
newer rock and pop grooves. Both strong writers and musicians,
Benson and David have distinct voices that complement each
other, causing audiences and critics alike to tout them as
a powerful young force in American roots music. Although
they have not been touring long, they have already shared
the stage with the likes of Jolie Holland, The Arcade Fire,
Kelly Joe Phelps and Spider John Koerner. Look for
The Pines debut release, "Sparrows in the Bell" in
June '07, and watch for The Pines in your town ... |
