Sour Bridges
Austin's Only Browngrass Band
'Browngrass, it's like bluegrass... just a lil dirtier'
Somewhere up on Cripple Creek, there’s an old log cabin where the gang used to gather to pass the bottle and trade tall tales. Sometimes, a back-porch pickin’ party would break out, and they’d spend hours strumming country-rock classics, drivin’ that train through the Band, the Byrds, and various Burrito Brothers, and even entering ex-Beatles territory on “Crippled Inside.” (Yes, dogs did howl along with their lusty harmonies on that one.)
That’s the actual story of Austin band Sour Bridges’ birth. Well, maybe the cabin was really an apartment, and maybe it was closer to Lady Bird Lake (and maybe the dogs merely snored), but it did have a porch where friends gathered, bottles were passed and picking parties occurred. The songs also moved into original territory rather quickly.
In fact, you can almost hear the history of American roots music in the strong harmonies and intricate arrangements of the band’s latest EP- 'Roll Us Up Something Good' (out November 13th, 2020).
Its 3 new tracks written by band leader Bill Pucci, capturing the good-time vibe of a porch pickin’ party, while reflecting the working man’s woes and vices. It’s a natural evolution for a band that’s been working hard since 2010—though Sour Bridges actually has its genesis in the Pocono Mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
That’s where Long Island-born Pucci Brothers, Bill and Matt were raised. Both are self-taught players, but their musical interests were encouraged by their grandfather, who bought them instruments and even built Bill’s left-handed banjo. They made their way to Austin in 2007, immediately finding a community of like-minded talents. This latest incarnation includes Will Vaughan on bass and vocals and Dalton Chamblee on percussion.
