Deer Tick

w/ j-roddy walston & the business

If you’re looking for some gritty, cocky Southern-hued folk ‘n’ roll, look no further than ... four guys from Providence, R.I.? Yep, you heard right, Deer Tick craft deliciously filthy, heartfelt songs about life, love and associated memories, tinged with a decidedly Southern sensibility. Lead singer John J. McCauley III has a throaty, husky voice that that comes out as a powerful bellow; he’s supported by a band that churns through their alt-country numbers with confidence.

Deer Tick received heightened attention as the first band profiled on BriTunes, an online interview program hosted by NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, and were noted as a “band to watch” by Rolling Stone Magazine. The band’s third album, The Black Dirt Sessions, dropped in May. It follows War Elephant and Born on Flag Day (named for McCauley’s actual birthday).
