Artist Biography For Red Rooster

There Appears To Be More Than One Band That Goes By The Name 'Red Rooster'. As Of Now Two Are Mentioned Below. I. Red Rooster Is The New York-Based Folk Collective Formed In 1998 And Led By Jay Erickson Lead Vocals And Nat Zilkha Lead Guitar - Lifelong Friends Who Fashion Plainly Honest And Self-Reflective Songs From Fragments Of Their Diverse Musical Influences And Sensibilities. Originally Established As An Acoustic Act Playing A Mix Of Original And Traditional Bluegrass Blues And Folk Red Rooster Has Evolved Into Highly Original And Eclectic Band With A Sound All Its Own. Though Its Roots Remain Firmly Planted In Americana Red Rooster Has Created A Highly Original And Urban-Infused Sound. Today Red Rooster Shows Vary From Just Jay & Nat With A Couple Of Acoustic Guitars To An Urban Country Orchestra Complete With Electric Guitars Drums Horns Fiddle Mandolin Banjo And A DJ. Their Music Tells Stories That Grow Out Of The Rich Historical And Cultural Landscape That Is America From Appalachia To The Delta To Destinations Unknown. As The Houston Chronicle Writes It Is A "...Journey Through The Heart Of Americana And Roots Music." On Their Third Release WALK Jay And Nat Pull Together A Seamless Album Fashioned From Country Bluegrass Folk Gospel Blues And Hip-Hop. A Lot Has Happened In The Years Since Their Critically Acclaimed Second Album DOSE Was Released And It Shows In Their New Tunes. After A Successful Tour In 2008 Including A Breakout Appearance At The Newport Folk Festival The Band Went To Work On WALK. Musically And Lyrically Their Most Mature Work Yet The Album Is Infused With Red Rooster's Signature Musical Tension Between The Traditional And The Modern.
