For 10 years, three full length releases and a 7" single, Cincinnati, Ohio's Len's Lounge has been pursuing mongrel Americana - a distinct and edgy blend of country, folk and rock music. Fronted by singer/songwriter Jeff Roberson they have evolved a sound that has been characterized as being Appalachian/punk/folk, folk-grunge, alt.country and fringe enough for the mainstream to be to mainstream for the fringe.

Founded in 1992 by Cincinnati, Ohio folk singer/songwriter Jeff Roberson and Afghan Whigs bassist John Curley as a diversion from their two very independent careers, Len's Lounge has become the vehicle for the exploration of Jeff's plaintive and sometimes moody songs. Hanging on imagery and metaphor found throughout the southeast and midwest, the songs mine rich, seemingly unfamiliar territory in what many folks consider to be the geographically boring parts of the United States. Dry, cracked fields, slow moving rivers with deep, muddy shores, gabled homes surrounded by acres of soy fields and two or three southwesterly facing trees...there is a there, here.
