"There is a dark side to "Americana" and Strawfoot might be the premiere storytellers of that underbelly." -Jim Utz, Vintage Vinyl
"stirring, propulsive" -Christian Schaeffer, Riverfront Times
"Like the founding fathers of outlaw acoustics Strawfoot have tales of love and it's consequences aplenty. Murder, heresy, revenge... this is practically a blueprint for America. This exploration of the unsettled can be found in the best Country albums, and they can be found here." -Sepiachord.com
"Chasing Locusts takes the listener on a dark journey down a long, dusty road with the devil lurking in the shadows, and salvation waiting in some far off place." -Jackson Sykes, music.com

Brothers and Sisters of the Congregation...
We are pleased to announce the release of a special, limited edition book, entitled “How We Prosper: Songs from the Book of Strawfoot”, released by Vicious Books.
H.W.P. is a full color song book that blends our gig posters with song lyrics from our first album, as well as a preview of some of our songs from our upcoming album.
Every cent raised from the sale of this book goes directly towards recording costs, so for those sinners out there that have been a clamoring for our next album, this is a great way to expedite the process.

Dirge-Country pioneers, Strawfoot, bring a dark sound of candy-coated salvation and eternal hellfire and damnation to the public with haunting cautionary tales of outlaw scarecrows, wayward preachers, falling pianos, and the devil. Formed in the summer of 2005, Strawfoot creates an original sound steeped in the rich, dark history of America and beyond. Fronted by a crazed and angry preacher, Strawfoot is a seven-piece band consisting of violin, banjo, harmonica, upright bass, guitar, percussion and the occasional mandolin and accordian. Strawfoot has quickly become a fan favorite wherever they take the stage, gaining fans across America and abroad.
Strawfoot has shared the stage with many great bands, including but not limited to: William Elliott Whitmore, (Lee County, IA) Jason Ringenberg, (Nashville, TN) Curtis Eller, (NY,NY) Pokey LaFarge, (Louisville, KY) the Meat Purveyors, (Austin,TX) Reverend Glasseye, (Boston MA) HUMANWINE, (Boston, MA) the Hackensaw Boys, (Charlottesville, VA) Of Montreal, (Athens, GA) Bobby Bare Jr, (Nashville, TN) Black Diamond Heavies, (Nashville, TN) Two Cow Garage (Columbus, OH) and many more...
"Strawfoot has created their own genre and accomplish this rare feat with blues guitar riffs, the country pluck of the banjo, fiddlin' and harp blowin'. The lyrics and vocals oscillate between humorous rants and painfully poetic pleas. These cats have always been a favorite in the Lou..Come one come all to the congregation!" --Shane Signorino, Friday Nights Live
"Old-time revival and spirited dirge country band (strawfoot) make fire and brimstone sound sweet." -Paul Sturtz, True/False Film Festival
"The feverish nightmares of an ordained reverend from the soggy banks of the Mississippi river and his debauched congregation."--Curtis Eller, New York's Angriest Yodelling Banjo Player
"Strawfoot was without a doubt the worst band I have ever heard."--DIY Rockstar
Doing really well actually. The little woman's fixin' to pop (around the end of august) and my arm's healing up nicely (slowly, but nicely) so if you folks wanted to come down to the dirty around late september or october i'd be in fine form to see you, hang out, swap recipies and all that jazz (hey, you could consider it an early birthday gift to me ;) )
Thanks, pal. Look forward to seeing you. B & E and Thee Fine Lines are quite good. We are ready to rock and roll. We will probably open the night around 9:30.
Soon... The Mighty Strawfoot and that dirty ole' bastard Scott Biram. Off Broadway may be destroyed. Hide your daughters and lock the liquor cabinet. It's coming...

Thanks Strawfoot! Real nice of ya'll to shoot a comment our way. Hope you can make it to Off Broadway Saturday for our CD release. Hope to catch you in August with Scott Biram. It's been a long time, but we've been on a bill with him in Austin, he's great.
I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
Hi guys, the new music is wonderful as expected, fantastic. I can't wait for the new cd, I just won't be ble to get a good night sleep until I have my very own copy on my player! keep fighting the good fight... From your number one UK fan
