The Midnight Dogs
Muskogee-born and Bakersfield-raised is a pedigree
that most country singers would kill for; not only does Stacie Collins live up
to her heritage, she exceeds it with a unique sound that blends roadhouse
rock-n-roll, Chicago blues and hard country-twang. Her crack live band includes
her Jason & The Scorchers' bassist husband Al and this time round will be
augmented by Scorchers drummer and Bonafide frontman Pontus Snibb, and Hanoi
Rocks/The Electric Boys guitarist Conny Bloom.
“An infectious blend of roadhouse country rock
fronted by a blues-harp-blowing woman who sings with a desperate passion and a
slight Tammy Wynette catch in her voice." - No Depression
"Stacie Collins has earned a reputation for
superb twang rock with more than a hint of blues accented by her exceptional
harmonica playing." - All The Rage
"That girl can sure kick some ass! The minute
she took the stage she owned it!" - Sony Music
“No-frills slab of rough & tumble bluesy Southern
rock & roll" - Creative Loafing

The Handsome Family is a 20-year songwriting
collaboration between husband and wife, Brett (music) and Rennie Sparks
(words). Their lyrics and music are very intense, highly descriptive and full
of meticulously-researched narrative and exhilerating musical re-imaginings of
everything from Appalacian holler, psychedelic rock, Tin Pan Alley and medieval
ballad. Of course you don’t have to be a music historian to love these songs.
They are full of romantic longing for nature’s mysterious beauty and the tiny
wonders of everyday life. They pair sweet melody with sad harmony, love poetry
with dark beats. This is music that makes you shiver and cry, but also makes
you happy to be alive.
"Words that in their
everyday surrealism have no parallel in contemporary writing... Music that
mines the deep veins of fatalism in the Appalachian voice" - Greil Marcus
"This is music that moves forward by turning the clock back - haunting, primal and strangely heroic" - The London Times
