The Dead Volts

Straight forward guitar rock with some twang, amps turned up just a bit too loud in a failed attempt to overtake the crashing drums, a few brews and a bit of the whiskey, 2min songs played at breakneck speed followed by a few old sad songs, that’s what we’re shooting for.

American Dirt

American Dirt was founded a few years back by Dave Wilson and some other folks interested in playing american music rooted in the soil of traditional country mixed with good old rock and roll. After an initial period that saw some band members (and genres) come and go, American Dirt's current line up and repertoire of original songs was established in the spring of 2012. Since then, the band has been playing extensively in California. In 2012, American Dirt released a self-titled EP through Twang 'N' Bang Records, a local label in San Luis Obispo, Ca. Their first full-length offering was released in the summer of 2013, and the song 86 to Life was featured on a 4-way TNB split 7" in fall 2013. Twang N Bang Records will release the American Dirt's second full length album in the Fall of 2014.

Jack Parker

Over the span of his 20-year career, Jack Parker has taken his life-long journey through the peaks and valleys, and shaped a musical sound reminiscent of a timeless America. For years, Parker has been the ingenious six-string slinger interpreting other people’s songs from “stage-right” in bands like Tumbledown, and Rocky Point All-Stars, but more recently he has taken center-stage to write, sing, and play his own songs that have an air of rambling down the open road, but ultimately a longing for coming home.

Parker recently released his first solo EP entitled Homegrown. The album opens with the exciting southern-rocker “It’s So Good (To Be Back Home)” that mixes the attitude of his Tumbledown twang with his meticulous ear for melody. He sings about loving life on the road, but that coming home is what makes it all worthwhile. On other songs like “I Might Love You,” “Gone,” and “Put Me Down,” he pulls beautifully from his bluegrass and southern rock influences like Tony Rice or The Outlaws, to create a whole new sound all his own. His songs invoke a romantic sense of longing, for overcoming pain caused by life’s hardships and failed relationships, coupled with a desire to find true joy.

“One of the things that immediately strikes you about Parker’s debut is his vocals, which are a blend of Glen Frey and James Taylor with his own northwest inflections. This folksy tone carries through the rest of his songs, shining most clearly and plaintively on “The Mountain” and “Gone.” Parker’s guitar skills - both acoustic and electric - also make Homegrown a must-listen. Whether he’s strumming a back porch ballad or firing off greasy licks and solos, his attention to phrasing and tone are top-notch. Even for non-guitar players, the overall sound and feeling of Parker’s guitar-playing sticks out above the majority of what’s (currently) out there. Parker has years of experience under his belt, and he knows when (and what) to play, and more importantly when (and what) NOT to play.” -Will Hodge - My So-Called Soundtrack

Even though Parker is a true veteran in the music world, his journey as a solo artist is still a young, but truly promising one. We can only look ahead and watch him grow and mature into perhaps one of the great artists of the 21st century.
