Having spent his musical adolescence in Pennsylvanian punk rock trio Plow United, Brian McGee is not the most natural figurehead for a movement of new Americana. However, having spent the last ten years in Western North Carolina and immersing himself in the rich roots sound of the area, the musician has altered his songwriting palette and taken to fusing his punk rock heritage to some raw country sounds. The result is a blue-collar line in melodic country rock that sounds like the bastard love child of Guthrie and Springsteen.
