Sons of Fathers is a Can't Miss

I stumbled on this little gem while I was dissecting the Austin City Limits lineup and I'm glad I found them.

Sons of Fathers, from Texas, twists Americana on its head. Composed of David Beck and Paul Cauthen, frontmen with perfectly blended vocals, and their band, Sons of Fathers plays tunes that someone can call folk, country, rock, and sometimes blues. In the end, they are very Texas. Think of them playing in a bar, fans blowing, people chugging, and they are that good times band that will play hearty, classic tunes.

As present in their approval by both Rolling Stone, Paste, and CMT, Sons of Fathers has a varied sound. In their two albums, they can play a folky Mumford & Sons tune in "Roots & Vine," a rootsy jam with some gospel vocals in "Hurt Someone," and some old blues in "Out of Line."

Soon to play Widespread Panic's Fourth of July Festival, Louisville's WFPK Waterfront Wednesday, and of course Austin City Limits, Sons of Father's appreciators are just as diverse as their music.

Whatever they are, soak them up. Sons of Fathers is real. Really good.
