Wrinkle Neck Mules
6 Day Bender
The Hotdamns
Friday, February 20, 7:00PM
The five piece Wrinkle Neck Mules temper the roots racket of US forebearers Go to Blazes and The Bottlerockets with the more studious demands of bluegrass. Frontman Andy Stepanian has the throat tones of Steve Earle, shading these songs of old hounds, ditch weed and arsenic in the veins with the darkness they demand. And while there are traces of classic Bakersfield in "Ringing in the Days", it's the mandolin and banjo-picking that truly shine, particularly on "The Whistler Knows Best". "Swagger & Honesty" meanwhile sounds like a Southern anthem fit for Skynryd.
Advance: $10 / Day of Show: $13
