• Pinicon Drift Performance "Roots with Soul. Folk with Pop."

  <p>Pinicon Drift plays its own brand of American music-a blend of rock, folk, pop, country, and soul. Featuring the vocals of Julie Troendle and David Pedersen, the band's approach is as straightforward as its members' eastern Iowa roots. A shared love of songs and songwriters is reflected in their choices of cover tunes by artists such as Brandi Carlile, Grace Potter, John Prine, Jason Isbell, and Bob Dylan. Pinicon Drift's original material is distinctive for its tight harmonies, sweet melodies, memorable lyrics, and fine musicianship. The band's credo is clear and simple: Serve the song. </p> 2020-01-21 22:00:00 -0600
