The Nashville Wreckers are a six piece from Chicago, IL. The Nashville Wreckers have deep country influences but also balance their sound with some catchy pop hooks. The combination of two seasoned songwriters like Melas and Wetmore make the music border in deep drunken sadness and philosophical wondering about the late of us all. The twang of country is there and is more subtle then is reminiscent of artists like Smog and Will Oldham. They're a force all their own.
“A particularly weary brand of alt-country ...traipsing along like a junkman’s horse.”
Andy Downing - Chicago Tribune
“The brainchild of guitar/vocalists Don Melas and Andrew Wetmore, The Nashville Wreckers take up where Ryan Adams left off on Heartbreaker”
Janine Schaults - Illinois Entertainer
“more melancholy then their name might indicate”
