Florida's multiple Best of the Bay-winning
Americana makers HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL have a natural instinct for
combining folk, pop, rock and classic country influences to create a
sound all their own. "Their music has a great energy to it with
infectious, sing-along choruses and refrains" remarked NPR's Robin
Hilton. American Songwriter called HGWT's music"organic, infectious
Americana Pop. Their music has a refreshing immediacy to it."
HGWT's music has been featured in a national Chevy TV commercial;
multiple episodes of the PBS series Roadtrip Nation; a GTE Federal
Credit Union TV and radio ad campaign; and an episode of CBS's The Good
Wife. Their albums have spent months on the CMJ Radio Top 200 chart and
ranked as high as No. 3 on WMNF 88.5 Tampa's list of most-played albums.
HGWT's live performances have been described as rousing, rollicking,
energetic and dynamic. "Matt Burke & co. have what it takes to win
over any crowd" - Suburban Apologist
The band's fourth full-length album "Fiction, Fact or Folktale?" is
scheduled to be released this fall.
Leading lights of the new Lake Worth crop of roots rock acts, Black
Finger is a rock band, and that's it. And that's a good thing. Instead
of relying on subgenre flair, the quartet plays straight-ahead, slightly
shuffling, twangy tunes meant straight for the heart of the Great
American Songbook.
