Womack Family Band/Angela Perley & the Howlin' Moons/The Middle Rats

The folksy roots of America's early music live strong within the songs of local heroes, the Womack Family Band. Their slow-paced guitar lines intermixed with three-part vocal harmonies harken to a simpler lifestyle; that being closer to country living than bustling city life. This group of friends have created their own musical family, and the closeness and unity of their personal lives weaves its way into their music with the instrumentation and orchestration. Their most recent record The Blue Room, is a quiet effort that features delicate guitar lines and gentle vocals. The attention they put into the little details of their music pays off tenfold.
