The Lonesome Weekends are to the 21st Century what The Byrds were to 1960s Cosmic America: roots music, pure, raw, sweet and soaring; a brunch of vintage AM radio gold, second-hand cowboy shirts, desert peyote, and your grandma's very best Sunday morning pancakes. Formed in the summer of 2009, the trio of songwriters comprised of Marshall Burns (Rah Rah), Chris Sleightholm and Devon Floyd (Thee Hoolies, R.I.P) quickly went from sharing songs in the backyard to forming a full band. Enter Tyler Hammer and Chris Prpich (The Lazy MKs), drums and bass respectively, along with Steve 'The Hat' Jeske (CoelacanthDance) on keyboards. The resulting sonic goodness sees one part soulful psychedelia and two parts rollicking groove added to three parts backwoods harmonies, six-string twang and song writing swagger. Drinking from the same mountain stream that Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Wilco and The Sadies drank from. The Lonesome Weekends' debut record (Songs For Lonesome Weekends) released in April 2011. Right after the band spent three days in studio and have their next album in the can - Songs From A Barstool. The Lonesome Weekends can be seen tearing up local stages near you.
