About the Band:
BISCUIT CITY is a New England-based band that specializes in a unique blend of roots-rock, classic country, honky-tonk and blues. With an emphasis on tight vocal harmonies, instrumental twang and infectious groove, they capture a spirit and sound that is the essence of authentic country.

BISCUIT CITY serves up a healthy portion of vintage and classic country the best of the honky-tonk tradition, with songs by George Jones, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash and Skeeter Davis. The band also mixes in modern songs from Americana and alt-country artists including Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris, Rosanne Cash, Lucinda Williams, Ryan Adams, Wilco and the Jayhawksas well as contemporary country by artists from Dwight Yoakam to the Mavericks. Catchy original songs that reflect the bands influences and feature unique close harmony singing are also in the bands setlist. And if the dance floor isnt already jammed from their country repertoire, BISCUIT CITY will get the crowd moving with roots rock classics and Chicago and Texas-style blues.
