For those tired of the standard-issue indie rock, BLACK SQUIRRELS are here to offer an aural respite. Formed in the spring of 2006 by three small-town kids lost in the big city, Black Squirrels shy away from terms like “bluegrass,” and “folk.” The group is influenced by the rich tradition of American country music, and although their reverence for the past runs deep, this is not a retro act. Black Squirrels meld a modern, literate twist onto the old forms.
