Traditional sounds of rural Appalachia and the deep South served up with dance-pop sensibility and an Indie-rock attitude; Junior League’s contemporary take on American roots music draws inspiration from old-time fiddle tunes, swingin’ country, bangin’ bluegrass, and soulful delta blues. While the rhythm section lays down boot-stomping grooves and infectious string hooks, lead singer and banjer player, the lovely Lissy Rosemont, brings the band’s cleverly arranged compositions to life and hypnotizes audiences with her sultry voice, sweet lyrics, and Southern charm. Junior League’s instrumentation includes mandolin, guitar, banjo, fiddle, double-bass, harmonica and drums. The mostly acoustic group, based in Washington D.C., has toured the East from Boston to Atlanta and just returned from a West Coast epic that took them from L.A. all the way up to Seattle. Although they completed a residency at Pianos in June and have played venues like The Living Room and Pete’s Candy Store, Junior League members have also been spotted busking together on street corners and outside farmer’s markets in Brooklyn and several other major American cities. |
