EPK
Americana is said to be a melting pot of several American music genres. Denver-based group Bison Bone embraces the melting pot proudly, blending hypnotic melodies of the pedal steel, keys and alt-country guitar tones. Upon hearing this new EP, listeners are greeted with a sound that moves, that's made to travel. Muscular but vulnerable, warm & worn-in, it's a blue vinyl booth, a waiting bar-stool.
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.
"Lead vocalist Courtney Whitehead has a warm rasp, humility, and humor that calls to mind Warren Zevon and fellow Coloradan Jon Snodgrass. 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 and Teardrops
"Country music meets folky Americana with a twist of grit. Each song paints a clear picture with sentimentality and romanticism, making it the perfect Sunday-morning album to soothe the blues." - Denver Westword
"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
"Humanistic psychological insights and poetry of Bruce Springsteen and Uncle Tupelo." - Queen City Sounds and Art
"Reminiscent of the bluesier end of Steely Dan" - Birdy Magazine
