Wiggle Wagons' twangy, rockabilly quaver - Tonight @ Snug Harbor

Posted By on Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 9:33 AM

Ultimately, Wiggle Wagons is about the back-and-forth between vocalist Daniel Grigg’s rockabilly quaver and guitarist Bud Burke’s twang-heavy solos.

The quartet rewinds a bit, dialing back from modern Nashville flash to a flannel-and-truckstops ’70s vibe. Yeah, it’s still radio-ready and catchy, but more in that decade’s outlaw mode. Rock and country have always been close cousins (where do you think the “billy” in “rockabilly” came from?) and it’s a welcome marriage between the two. Wait, that came out wrong ...

$5. Snug Harbor.
