 The
Linemen draw on many influences to create an Americana
country sound swirling with
high lonesome vocals, lush pedal steel, twangy guitars, melodic bass lines, and inventive drumming. Not content to recreate the classic
sounds, The Linemen mix up influences ranging from Lefty Frizzell to The Beatles to Gram Parsons to The Jayhawks to create a hook filled concoction that
sounds both retro and modern.
The band
is led by the acoustic guitar and excellent high tenor singing of Kevin
Butterfield. The sound is
filled out by the pedal steel and guitar of Scott Swartz, and the grove
is laid down with the melodic bass of Greg Lamb and the rock solid
drumming of John Baldus. Members of the The Linemen also play in other prominent
St. Louis
bands such as
Waterloo,
Magnolia Summer and The Meteor Pilots, and Kevin keeps a busy schedule
playing solo acoustic shows several nights a week.
The
Linemen were honored with a Riverfront Times Best of 2006 award for Best
Traditional Country Band. |
