Description
The Byson Family started 2021 in style, when their self-released, limited edition debut album 'Kick The Traces' made a big impact from its soft release. It debuted at #1 on Independent Breakers; #3 on Scottish Albums; #5 on Americana Albums; and #9 on Independent Albums. Now 'Kick The Traces' is set for a much wider discovery, with the release of its Expanded Edition on September 10th via their own Seshlehem Records label.
Press play on 'Kick The Traces' and you'll discover rootsy heartland rock that's as evocative of sprawling road trips through America's open highways as it is soundtracking an escape into the Scottish Highlands. It's a sound that echoes the great bands whose music never ages: the strut of The Stones, the beatific beauty of The Byrds, the riffs and reflection of Neil Young. But they're also kindred spirits to the artists who extend that lineage in new ways: the joyous rush of The War on Drugs and the alt-country adventures of Wilco, with a touch of Calexico's desert noir.
The Byson Family will make their long awaited return to live shows in September. They're set to headline a homecoming show at Glasgow's historic St. Luke's on September 25th. They're also confirmed to support the resurgent Del Amitri on a tour that includes the London Palladium and two nights at Glasgow's Barrowlands.
