Portland Metronome puts the Dead Winter Carpenters “at the forefront of a youthful generation trying to redefine what string music is and what it can do.”  That progressive nature shines through in the band’s latest album, Washoe (released February 26, 2016). A 12-song collection of original songs by Dead Winter Carpenter members, Washoe’s diverse track list pays tribute to diverse musical influences including classic rock, bluegrass, alt-country, and rockabilly. Highlight tracks include “Midnight Ghost,” “Love Amongst Thieves,” and “Winning Hand,” and the angst-tinged duet, “If I Wrote You A Song.”

 

DWC’s Dirt Nap EP was released in 2014 and features 5 original tracks recorded at Heavenly Tracks studio in South Lake Tahoe. The EP caught the attention of several media outlets to include CMT Edge, No Depression, and The San Francisco Chronicle.
