Boy Named Banjo, Out Of The Blue

With roiling acoustic guitars, buckling banjo and soaring sidewinding electrics, up-and-coming Nashville quintet Boy Named Banjo charts a fringe course far different from the trajectory favored by mainstream country warblers. With a solid backbeat you would expect from former garage rockers, BNB weaves emotional roots-driven lyrics and melodies through an energetic blend of alt rock, folk-pop and bluegrass that applies the sparking defibrillator paddles to commercial country’s sluggish heart.
