"These troubadors from Florida take you back to when folk music was celebratory, even among the heartache and despair of a wandering life. The band mixes it up instrumentally, often accenting with an accordion or a banjo. Make no mistake though — at their heart, the Lonesome City Travellers is a country band. And, as a bonus, the bass player has the most impressive afros to ever grace the Picaflor stage!"

Fronted by sibling duo Scott and Chris Metts, Lonesome City Travelers offers a bit of a throwback sound not often well replicated by the younger crowd - and they do it quite well. The Metts brothers are backed by another brother duo - Jeremy and Justin Martin on drums and bass, respectively. Their Songs often hit a peak when the Metts are harmonizing. It just sounds right. I once read and interciew with Brian Wilson, in which he stated that the reason The Beach Boys' harmonies worked so well was because they were all family. He may have been onto something. - Kyle Raker Drink Magazine October Issue - Drink Magazine
