ABOUT THE PINKERTON RAID

Songwriter Jesse James DeConto grew up in New England, with Dad’s guitar and Mom’s radio tuned to Soulsville, the Village, Liverpool and Laurel Canyon. Those inheritances mingle with foothills-folk in Durham, N.C., yielding songs Americana UK calls “anthemic.” Critics hear influences from Neil Young to The National. “You won’t be able to stop humming,” said No Depression.

The Pinkerton Raid has played with Illiterate Light, Ballroom Thieves, Lowland Hum and Noah Gundersen. Back-to-back releases in 2017 & 2018 brought them from Charleston to Chicago to Brattleboro, Vt., with slots at EnoFest, Shakori Hills and Daytrotter and acclaim from Paste, Popdose, Aquarian Weekly and more.

In 2020-2022, the band has been releasing a series of indie-rock singles. American Songwriter called “Dream the Sun” a “radiant … message of hope.” Glide Magazine said “Rebel Mama Blues” “purrs with the garage rock swagger of The White Stripes and the irritated kick of Cage the Elephant,” while The Big Takover called it “a blast of zeitgeist-capturing political garage-psych … Bowie-meets-Black Keys.” “Lisbet Cries” is “poignant,” according to Rolling Stone. Indyweek called “(Not All) The Boys Will Be Boys” a “bluesy, slow-burning rallying cry for a better version of masculinity."

Their fifth full-length album is due out in 2022.

ABOUT SNEAKY MILES

INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK

Formed in the fall of 2019, indie folk band, Sneaky Miles, found each other through various open mic nights at the University of New Hampshire. Since forming, the group has quickly become a local powerhouse in the NH Seacoast music scene. Despite being known for their high-energy, good-vibe performances, Sneaky Miles’s musical personality is a patchwork of raw reflections and life-lessons from each member. Their tracks feel destined for wistful, late night car rides and their debut album, Rivers Run Gold, encompasses these feelings entirely. Sneaky Miles is a group that loves to tell stories through their music. One of their best stories is the origin of the band’s name, but it’s not harbored inside any of their songs. For that, you’ll just have to go to one of their shows and ask.
