Alt-country, roots-rocking, Americana, neo-traditionalists - The Splinters both embrace and defy all categories. With a blend of compelling harmonies and non-stop rhythm, The Splinters deliver powerful performances that draw in listeners of all kinds.
Together, The Splinters brew up a bluesy, upbeat mix of distinctive music, drawing on influences that include John Hiatt, Kasey Chambers, Little Feat and the subdudes. Both cover tunes and original songs are brought to life with clever arrangements that showcase their vocal and instrumental versatility.
Here's The Splinters performing Maggie Brown's "40 Dollars" on the Fairfax County, VA, cable show "Communicating Today". Recorded live on December 17, 2007.
