'Lean EP' out 5/16/2025, is Bison Bone’s newest 3 song EP. Bison Bone’s frontman, Courtney Whitehead writes these songs about “partnership, showing up how/where you can, and the reflection of time.”
"Confessional yet also poetic, as Whitehead ranges from his low vibrator to a controlled outpouring. Ripe with choice lyrical nuggets and a rich musical foundation, singer Courtney Whitehead has a strong vocal presence, reminiscent of greats Terry Allen and Guy Clark." - Glide Magazine
“Warm and full of heart, “Lean” feels like the kind of song that drifts through the air at a summer cookout, where the drinks are cold, and the company is good. Denver’s Bison Bone delivers a sound that blends country rock with a touch of classic Americana, beneath lyrics built on love, resilience, and devotion. There’s a Springsteen-like earnestness to it, a sense of hard-won joy.” – 303 Magazine
"The five songs on 40 Grit prove Bison Bone’s mettle as serious students of alt-country — and torchbearers for what’s to come." - Adobe & Teardrops
Bison Bone have shared the stage with Son Volt, American Aquarium, Ben Nichols (Lucero), Susto, Goodnight, Texas, Buffalo Nichols, Dylan Leblanc, Israel Nash and many more.
