Wartime Blues

The Woods
Portland, OR

The Wartime Blues are Missoula-dwellers who impress audiences with their sparse and delicate harmony-driven sounds. With cellos, banjos, mandos, guitars, keys, drums, bass, and the occasional singing saw, Wartime Blues may be young, but they have an old sound. This is certainly a compliment as their style is on par with some of the best indie Americana around.

Graves: Greg Olin specializes in a songwriting style which can be reduced to its minimum components â vocal and guitar â and still work. But life is too short and friends/musicians are too plenty not to enhance the writing with a more traditional band sound: drums, bass, keys, horns, etc. Olin has discovered a perfect synthesis of intimate songwriting with enhanced, rule breaking instrumentation that one usually associates with the likes of Wilco and others. His music sounds like the man behind it: utterly sincere, slightly off kilter, instantly likable.
