The roots of their progressive stringband music lie in the back country of rural America, but these damn fine San Francisco pickers launch that old time sound into the 21st century with dynamic instrumental textures that take flight with grace and gravitas.

The gorgeous, soulful vocals of lead singer-songwriter Melody Walker are supported by mandolinist Adam Roszkiewicz, guitarist Jacob Groopman, violinist Leif Karlstrom and bassist Jeremy Darrow. This exciting quintet has been called "passionately intoxicating" and "orchestral" and Melody's bluesy vocals have been described as "rafter-shaking". Seldom traditional, always original, Front Country's new album, "Sake of the Sound," has been recently released.
