Majors Junction - Lightning Rod (2016)

Ahhh to be described as “Country” these days is so confusing. Are you talking about the pop music being churned out utilizing proven formulas sure to be a “Country” radio hit or are you referring to the more traditional styles of Cash, Jennings or Nelson? Truth is neither is an accurate depiction of Majors Junction but the latter is definitely nearer to their neighborhood. Rich textures created by the band have been described as “Plush Lonesome Western Blues”. Attracting a listener base whose musical taste transcends different genres, Majors Junction produces a diverse meld of country honky-tonk blues with folk undertones and hints of bluegrass pickin’ and good old rock & roll. It is a unique sound that celebrates individuality and hard work, two qualities the band shares with its hometown of Chicago.

Majors Junction is one of the original founders of the Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival and have performed with artists including… The Traveling McCoury’s, The Avett Brothers, David Grisman, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Dale Watson, Ben Taylor, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and many more....
