Local favorite, nationally touring band The Dead Winter Carpenters take the stage at Alibi for the first of their 3-night Truckee run ending 2018. They'll be joined by Peter Joseph Burtt.
Hailing from North Lake Tahoe, Calif., Americana band Dead Winter Carpenters has built a reputation for pouring their heart and soul into each performance. In just a few years, they have positioned themselves, wrote Portland Metronome, at the forefront of a youthful generation trying to redefine what string music is and what it can do.
That progressive nature comes through loud and clear from instruments plugged and unplugged in the band's coming release, Washoe (February 26). The bands fourth studio project, the 12-song collection of originals was recorded in Renos Sierra Sonics Studio (Ozzy Ozbourne, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Collective Soul) and co-produced by Dead Winter Carpenters and Zachary Girdis.
The band's previous albums include the group's 2010 self-titled debut, Aint It Strange (2012), and the much-acclaimed Dirt Nap (2014), of which CMT Edge wrote, With one listen to Dead Winter Carpenters Easy Sleep, youll get a strong sense of where this California band is coming from.
Reminiscent of genre-benders like Jack White, Chris Thile, and Sam Bush, Dead Winter Carpenters harmoniously blends refined musical ability with a scarcely restrained tendency to let it all hang out. The result is a controlled burn, a riveting sound, and a connection with fans that sells out shows and has the band sharing stages with the likes of Jason Isbell, Greensky Bluegrass, and Hard Working Americans.
