Details:
The Sawbucks formed in early 2002 after bassist Chuck Roscoe and drummer Wayne Kenyon, both of New Haven favorites The Motel Preachers, found themselves free agents following the departure of head parson Don Phee. Led by transplanted Toronto singer-songwriter Chris Merk (who moonlights with The Hickups - also available on CD Baby), The Sawbucks put a unique contemporary spin on roots-inflected Americana.
Their 14-track debut release Maybe Even Everything (Troutcat Records CD-1003) is a tall glass of chillinâ country with a chaser of pure heartache. From straight-to-the-heart balladry (âNorth of Lonelinessâ) to roadhouse stompinâ country rock (âLittle Olâ Honky-Tonk Bandâ) The Sawbucks' take on classic contemporary roots will keep your toes tappinâ and fingers snappinâ. Fellow Connecticut musician Freddie Tane rounds out the release, complimenting The Sawbuckâs sparse songs of hope and desolation.
