The Dead Winter Carpenters come from North Lake Tahoe, California and have created a reputation for “pouring their heart and soul” out on the stage. They are trying to redefine string music for a youthful generation of listeners; their progressive nature and sound comes from use of plugged and unplugged instruments, a blending of refined musical ability and ‘letting it all hang out,’ with a strong sense of ambition. They are reminiscent of genre-benders like Jack White, Chris Thile and Sam Bush and, like these artists, connect with their fans in ways that sell out their show.

Whether traveling with other musicians, like his Nashville-based band the Trailer Park Troubadours, or with just his guitar, Antsy McClain guaranteed to put on a memorable show filled with both “humor and heart.” Antsy McClain’s unique, down-home sound and lyrics mix serious subjects, social commentary, and observations about life with moments of humor and absurdity; a single song could have you laughing and crying at the same time.

His shows are filled with comedy, music, and storytelling, and his relatable nature leaves audiences feeling like Antsy is a close friend.
