Dead String Brothers -

It may be a surprise to hear the wistful Americana sounds of Detroit's Deadstring Brothers coming from a city better known for loud rock, but disillusionment can take many channels. Desolation, frustration and regret have always been present where great country music was played, and from its bombed-out inner city to its sterile suburbs, Detroit has its share. In their hometown, the Deadstring Brothers have shared the stage with acts ranging from Cat Power and Eleni Mandell to Jesse Malin, the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash and Jesse Sykes.
