Led by writer Willy Vlautin, literary Americana rockers land to stir your sensibilities. They were given the 'Kings of Americana' tag by Uncut magazine in 2005 which spells out Willy's ability to write great story telling songs that capture the seedier side of life in all its glory. With a band able to rock out or play the sensitive soul card, you're in for an excellent night.
