The dawning of spring in the foothills of Appalachia brings with it an array of sensory pleasures: the smell of freshly cut grass; the warmth of the sun’s rays; and the sweet, sweet sound of good old Americana folk.
The Bloodroots Barter will be stopping by Jackie O’s this Friday and will bring with them a taste of spring and some finger pickin’ good bluegrass tunes to boot.
A new band with a traditional proposition, The Bloodroots Barter have been influenced by everyone from Woody Guthrie to Tom Waits to the Avett Brothers. They play a crowd-pleasing mix of traditional tunes, like the classic “Wayfaring Stranger,” as well as originals which still manage to have that “old favorite” feel to them--like a well worn pair of blue jeans.
Playing good tunes both about and for good people, The Bloodroots Barter are an alt-country sensation sure to captivate the hearts of the Athens music scene.
The Bloodroots Barter will play Jackie O’s this Friday, March 18, and Athens’ own acoustic duo, The Paranormals will open the night around 10 p.m.
