The Pines Have Just Begun to Grow...

The Pines represent relatively new growth on the Alt/Roots/Americana scene. They will be playing at The Ark in Ann Arbor on Friday, June 20th. Might be a good time to catch this talented duo, so you can say you saw them when.

Website Bio:
RED HOUSE RECORDS IS PLEASED to announce the signing of up-and-coming duo The Pines. Composed of Iowa natives David Huckfelt and Benson Ramsey, The Pines combine roots, blues and indie-rock to create a raw, haunting sound that is inventive and compelling. The son of Greg Brown's producer and sideman Bo Ramsey, Benson was reared on folk and blues music and continues to let those influences shine, even on louder electric songs. Like Benson, David also has a deep love for traditional music, and together the two of them craft music that evokes the ancient while incorporating newer rock and pop grooves. Both strong writers and musicians, Benson and David have distinct voices that complement each other, causing audiences and critics alike to tout them as a powerful young force in American roots music. Although they have not been touring long, they have already shared the stage with the likes of Jolie Holland, The Arcade Fire, Kelly Joe Phelps and Spider John Koerner. Look for The Pines debut release, "Sparrows in the Bell" in June '08, and watch for The Pines in your town ...
