Based out of Charlotte, North Carolina, amiable country-rockers
Amigo specialize in a winning blend of propulsive,
Jonathan Richman/
Doug Sahm-inspired rockabilly/roots rock and soulful, heartache-inducing folk-rock in the vein of
Gram Parsons and
the Band. A honky tonk dance band with a punk rock heart, the trio formed in 2012 around the talents of guitarist/vocalist
Slade Baird, drummer Adam Phillips, and bass player Craig Lentz. In 2014, the group set out on their first national tour in support of their
Scott Solter- (
Superchunk,
the Mountain Goats) produced debut long-player, Might Could. 2017's sophomore effort,
And Friends, saw the band deliver a rowdy yet intimate set that drew from a wide array of influences, including '50s doo wop,
John Prine,
Hank Williams,
the Replacements,
Tom Petty, and
Dinosaur Jr. ~ James Christopher Monger
