Nashville-based, indie folk troubadours The Brook & The Bluff is upcoming show at nearby Pappy + Harriet's on Mar 8. They are touring their new album Bluebeard, coming through Pioneertown to celebrate.
Last year, the band celebrated sold-out North American headline tour dates in New York, DC, Nashville, Chicago, Boston, Austin, Toronto and many more. Just today they announced support for these tour dates will be WILLIS, Teenage Dads and Hotel Fiction.
Bluebeard is a career defining record for the band and the early fan response suggests it will be a breakthrough moment for them. Singles “Long Limbs,” “Tangerine,” “Headfirst,”& “Hiding,” all tracks that show the depth of this album, a mix of indie folk, fused with touches of funk and deep groves. In recent years, The Brook & The Bluff’s incandescent harmonies, winning arrangements, and observational acumen have placed them firmly at the center of the indie-folk revival. They are now, by far, one of the most successful young bands at folk-rock’s amorphous contemporary edge, fusing the craft of the past with the ideas and avenues of the present.

More on The Brook & The Bluff…..
For a moment, conjure an image of a band of five longtime pals, writing alluring new rock classics about the frailties of love and the ennui of existence, soft and familiar as a pair of old jeans. It may look something like The Brook & The Bluff, named for the members’ respective childhood neighborhoods in Birmingham, Alabama—two brothers and some neighbors, all childhood chums. Like their road-bound rock forebears, the band followed a proven path for the better part of a decade, growing from a college-town covers duo to a hard-touring quintet
