The Accomplices & Friends Present: A Tribute to John Prine

Overview

"The Accomplices might have the trappings of a bluegrass band … but pigeonhole them at your own risk. The band weaves genres ranging from rock to jazz to bluegrass, into a harmony-drenched patchwork of American music."-Vincent Harris, The Spartanburg Herald-Journal (2013). The Accomplices, based in Savannah, Georgia, have found a road of their own in the vast wilderness of the Americana sound. Not quite country, not quite bluegrass, not quite jamband, but a remarkable amalgam of all of the above and more, The Accomplices—Matt Eckstine, Zach Smith, Colleen Heine, and Stan Ray—create a timeless, energetic sound full of audio texture, gorgeous harmonies and thoughtful songwriting. "I entered the music business in 1969 as a concert promoter, spent the Seventies interviewing, reviewing, and photographing every major recording act in the business, then wrote the book about Jerry Lee Lewis that was turned into the movie Great Balls of Fire… and in all my years, I've never seen a drum, guitar, fiddle and standing bass blow the roof off a bar like The Accomplices." -Murray Silver (Author, Great Balls of Fire: The True Story of Jerry Lee Lewis). Matt Eckstine: acoustic guitar / lead vocals, Zach Smith: upright bass / lead vocals, Colleen Heine: fiddle / vocals, Stan Ray: percussion / vocals.
