Basic description: Indie-rock/alt-country from the mountains of Western North Carolina. The Worthless Son-in-Laws blend truck-driving rockers with pastoral daydream soundtracks and meditative, melody-laden pop songs.
Bio: The Worthless Son-in-Laws are a Boone, North Carolina-based band formed in the wee hours of 2004. You could call their music New South Underground, a mixture of acoustic indie rock, electric southern rock, American roots music, and a little Creedence and Blue Oyster Cult thrown in for good measure. Like XTC penning songs to be covered by Son Volt. Or early REM grafted onto Lynyrd Skynyrd. Or Joni Mitchell ghostwriting the autobiography of Little Feat.
The Worthless Son-in-Laws recently played at Merlefest 2007. Merlefest director Claire Armbruster wrote on the Merlefest discussion boards: “I think that the hot new bands for 2007 [include]...the Worthless Son-in-Laws....They’ve all just knocked my socks off.” There was no mention of the suitcase full of unmarked bills. The Son-in-Laws also play around the Carolinas and sometimes in Tennessee. They have a CD called “Sort of Back to Having a Life.”
Jimmy Davidson (acoustic guitar/vocals) and Rob Brown (electric guitar/vocals) write songs about working at a t-shirt shop and Mississippi highways and weddings and antique televisions. Jimmy writes about work, mostly, and flips through Bryan Garner’s Dictionary of Modern American Usage for inspiration, while Rob’s muse is his latent desire to be a truck driver (he is, in truth, a university professor). Rich Crepeau (bass guitar, PhD) plays bass and writes a sinister country-punk number his own self now and then. And, he’s on the Boone Board of Adjustment. Jimmy used to play toy drums and real guitar with songwriter Vic Chesnutt. Lucas Bowman (drums) is the new guy. And he rocks. The Worthless Son-in-Laws listen to Gram Parsons, Sloan, and the dB's while driving to gigs in Asheville.
Thanks for the friendship! I really appreciate it :) I hope you're having a great week so far, and have a good weekend. Lots of love, ~Meredith Lyn ~Always keepin' it blue~
