"Sundays at Six" at the Acoustic Cafe

SUNDAYS at SIX"
"THE TALL PINES" at the Acoustic Cafe! WPKN kicks of it's new music series "Sundays at Six" with The Tall Pines, equal parts soul and twang, molasses and moonshine, sass and skill, they evoke the heyday of the country-soul hybrid without ever sounding unoriginal, a difficult feat. With long straight hair falling over sky high cheekbones and a penchant for floor-length dresses lead singer Connie Petruk looks like she stepped out of late 60s / early 70s Nashville and sings like the lost sister of Bobbie Gentry or Dusty Springfield. Her honeyed alto will melt the frost off your windshield, and the band's confident backing matches her attitude flawlessly. The songs, written by singer and band mate Christmas Davis, are inspired by his Southern upbringing. The Tall Pines began pushing their tiny roots into the earth when Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris decided to sing together, and when The Band came down from Canada, and when Tony Joe White and Bobbie Gentry first started writing down stories and pickin their guitars at the same time. Come and see this up and coming alt-country band at the Acoustic Cafe. We'll show you a great time and have you home in bed by Ten! Maybe!
