"Good Ol' Kentucky Roots Rock & Blues"
The String Theory of Roots Rock
What is it about a vibrating string that is so basic … pure and simple… yet has captured the imagination of artists and music lovers alike for thousands of years? How lucky we are to have ready access to that deep and real connection. It can be such a genuine source of joy…the way a good roots artist uses rhythm to connect you with the vibrations enjoyed by generations past.
It ‘s During our age of plastic throw away culture and thirty second attention spans that we yearn for something deep and real. We need it like we need water to drink or air to breath. This is truly the value of roots music to our particular time and place… and it explains in so many ways the recently emerging popularity of roots rock and blues.
The Downtown County Band plays good ol' Kentucky roots rock & blues. Hailing from the rolling hills of Owenton KY, this group of young men are reinventing the traditional jug band sound with a style both new and unique. Based on a shared appreciation for acoustic roots music, DCB plays mainly original songs driven by the toe-tapping pulse and contagious energy of their live performance. A DCB show is an invitation to get up and dance!
