Rising out of the prairies of the Midwest, The Pines are one of the most distinct and powerful indie-rock/Americana groups to hit the national scene in years. Emerging from the same Minneapolis music world that spawned such notable acts as The Jayhawks and Bob Dylan, The Pines have gathered a stunning line-up of musical talent, in both their live shows and on record, that has gained them a faithful and growing following. Benson Ramsey and David Huckfelt share a common musical language rooted in the songs and songwriters of their native Iowa. Each brings a distinct voice and sensibility to the sound that the Rolling Stone called “quietly gripping” stark-country.
