That done, you\nface an even greater challenge: What IS this music? Although Front Country has a\nfoundation in traditional music, they are creating their own path and sound\nwith grace, poise, confidence and extreme skill. They call it \u201croots pop&#8221;\nand it\u2019s easy to agree with them. In fact you can&#8217;t deny the infusion of these\ntwo sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you dig in, you might also hear moments that feel like\nthe classic rock of Fleetwood Mac or the Police, as well as the modern country\nsounds of the Dixie Chicks or Chris Stapleton. This new record features skills\n&#8211; both vocally and instrumentally &#8211; of a band seasoned well beyond their years.\nFront Country is anchored by the pure power and touch of Melody Walker&#8217;s lead\nvocal. She brings an attack that has a hint of effortless irreverence while\nrevealing brutal honesty and vulnerability in both singing and songwriting. As\nexciting a band on stage as they are in the studio, Front Country stands strong\nand tall in today&#8217;s American roots music scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cTo say the playing is\nvirtuosic is an understatement! Given that their command of the instruments\nthey play is so exceptional that it&#8217;s difficult to visualize anything in roots\nmusic that this band couldn&#8217;t master.\u201d<\/em> &#8211; American Roots UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cIn the bluegrass\nworld, musicians tend to define themselves by their tradition and discipline.\nBut Front Country is defined by its no-rules approach.\u201d<\/em> &#8211; NPR Music<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today&#8217;s crowded musical landscape, it&#8217;s hard enough to develop a unique and recognizable sound that can set you apart.
