Al & the Transamericans - A biography
al & the transamericans
al & the transamericans are a roots rock, alt country, americana group hailing from the great northeast. the music is a nice blend of bluegrass, country, & rock. all of the musicians have 'day jobs' in other bands (moe., strangefolk, okemah, the gordon stone trio). these guys all come to this simply for the love of playing a good 3 chord song. their shows typically feature everything from straight up acoustic bluegrass barnburners to balls out rock.
while the music owes as much to bob dylan & the band as it does to folks like hank williams & johnny cash, there's a great indie quality to the transamericans that harkens back to bands like the replacements & early REM.
