Description:
Gillie's welcomes The Low Counts to the stage for the Late Night show on Friday, September 21st.
The Low Counts are an Americana/Roots Rock duo, from Statesville, North Carolina comprised of singer/songwriter/guitarist, Matt Walsh and drummer, Bryon Smallwood. Their original music is a hodge podge of the all of the music that influences them the most, finding them effortlessly combining early 40's and 50's Mississippi/Urban/Piedmont Blues, 50's Sun Records styled Rock/Rockabilly, 60's Garage Rock, 70's Stoner Rock, old Country, Stax Soul, Hip-Hop or whatever else they can find to throw in the pot.
As long as it comes out of the mash-up sounding original, real, fresh and if it rocks, it gets the stamp of their approval. True, the Lowcounts aren't easy to categorize, but one thing anyone could agree on is that whatever they do, it's always no-nonsense, raw, energetic, primal and coming from many music avenues at once, weaving them into their own unique sound. They have no desire to be traditionalists or to replicate old music, only to make new music without forgetting their roots or the best parts of those roots
