Live solo show! The Pinkerton Raid’s Jesse James DeConto hails from New England, with dad’s guitar and mom’s radio tuned to Soulsville, The Village, Liverpool and Laurel Canyon, now mining foothills-folk in Durham, N.C., for songs AMERICANA-UK calls “anthemic.” Critics hear influences from Iron & Wine to Bowie. “Radiant,” says AMERICAN SONGWRITER. The band has opened for Illiterate Light, The Ballroom Thieves and Noah Gundersen. They’ve slotted at Daytrotter and at festivals like Shakori Hills, Albino Skunk, H St. and AVL Fest with artists such as Jaime Wyatt, Sunny War, Watchhouse and The Bones of JR Jones. “A sound for dreamers around a campfire,” says GHETTOBLASTER. “A towering forest of indie rock with a timbre of folk that shadows Langhorne Slim, Cold War Kids and The Killers,” says THE SPILL. “Fans of Wilco, Neil Young and Sharon Van Etten will be pleased with the band’s plaintive voices and introspective songwriting,” says CONNECT SAVANNAH.
