Strong Coffee with a shot of Moonshine. Pig Meat & Heartbreak. Not from Nash Vegas.

The songs get stuck in your head: “Come a hard frost, hog killin’ time, good sausage, ham and bacon!” Maverick magazine (UK) called Widow Maker “somewhere between the Nashville Bluegrass Band and the Bad Livers… 4 and a half out of 5 stars.” The sounds are surely fresh and new, but the roots run deep in much older traditions. Listen close: you hear hardcore bluegrass, swampy blues, old school country, old time, gospel, and something else that’s hard to put your finger on (rock and roll? tongue-in-cheek irreverence?). Widow Maker proves you can love and pay your respects to the Carter Family, the Stanley Brothers, Hank, Jimmy Martin, AC/DC, Nancy Griffith and the rest without just imitating; they’re making a sound that’s all their own. No LRB clone band here either. Penguin Eggs magazine (Canada) says it’s “all original but the sound is as old as the hills.” After a coveted official showcase at the 2008 IBMA, this is a band that’s just starting to get noticed on the national (and international) scene. Craig Korth drives the band hard, settin' the woods on fire with picking that Bluegrass Now magazine called "impressive". Native Virginian Will White delivers straight-ahead instrumentals, sharp-edged original songs, and vigorous soulful singing that is the real deal. Byron Myhre is a renowned championship fiddler whose playing is ferocious, tasteful and slippery smooth. Dale Ulan hops the band up with his energetic, rockabilly-heavy bass, and Julie Kerr is an inspired and accomplished singer/songwriter whose enticing voice ranges from high and plaintive to sassy, low and sultry. Powerful songwriting, strong male/female vocal harmonies, tight instrumentation, and rough edges left on ‘cause it sounds better that way. Tap your toes, sing along, and see if you can get that song out of your head after the band stops playing.

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks
