Doc Marshalls

After years of preaching roots music in NYC's indie rock venues, where these city troubadours have long sought to make converts of even the most country-shy souls, The Doc Marshalls' front man, Nick Beaudoing, has recently moved the band's headquarters from NYC to Nashville, arriving in Twangtown with an album that melds the best of both worlds. Whereas their previous records evoked the Texas-Louisiana borderlands with honky-tonk shuffles and breakneck Cajun two-steps, the bands new material favors crooked, shimmering folk and lush melodies. Nashville has received it well: "The Doc Marshalls are Americana's greatest unknown band, mixing accordion-heavy Cajun music with Parsons-esque alt-country to create a sound both unique and infectious." - The 9513, Nashville
