eTown Presents Frontier Ruckus and Road Pony
About Frontier Ruckus:
Since the release of their 2008 debut album, the songs of Frontier Ruckus have delivered a singularly detailed representation of the glorious yet grim minutiae of Midwestern suburban life. The obsessively crafted lyrical world of songwriter Matthew Milia is brought to life by banjo player David Jones and multi-instrumentalist Zachary Nichols, whose contributions feel telepathically attuned. Add in the transformative harmony vocals of Anna Burch — who has graced most of the band's catalog and achieved a meteoric solo career in her own right — and a richness emerges that sounds like no other band. From stages at Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo to the intimate living rooms of fans, this magnetic chemistry has helped Frontier Ruckus garner a dedicated following across the United States and Europe. In 2017 the band released their fifth LP, Enter the Kingdom — co-produced by founding Wilco drummer, Ken Coomer. The record's complex rhyme schemes and winsome charm were praised by legendary rock critic Robert Christgau. After slowing the tempo of their output and performing rather selectively, the band released their sixth album On the Northline to much anticipation — delivering more of the magic that led AllMusic to deem Frontier Ruckus "one of the best things to come out of Michigan since Faygo Redpop.”
About Road Pony:
Classic country gets a new ride. Meet Road Pony, a country band reimagined. Fronted by Megan Burtt and Lauren Frihauf, whose harmonies could melt the coldest heart, they’ve got local legends backing them — Dave Devine, Eric Moon, Braxton Kahn keeping the groove and Kramer Kelling on bass, making sure the boot scootin’ never stops. Paying homage to the greats like Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn, Road Pony brings the classic country heat with a fresh spin. Saddle up, folks — it’s gonna be a wild, toe-tapping, whiskey-soaked ride!
