Drawing from the deep well of American music, Pluck & Rail blend together gritty songwriting, tight vocal melodies and soaring cello runs to craft their unique sound.  Pluck & Rail’s original compositions are equal parts: Ralph Stanley, The Decemberists, Morphine, Robert Earl Keen, Gillian Welch, Wilco, The Avett Brothers, Roscoe Holcomb, Mumford & Sons and Led Zeppelin, and their live performances blister with a passion and energy not often seen in acoustic music. “...bittersweet...” —New York Times (July 2015) “...evocative of the Felice Brothers...” —Westchester Magazine’s 2014 Fall Arts Preview “...a fresh take evoking aspects of T Bone Burnett.” —Progression Magazine, Oct. 2015 “...fun, irreverent, soulful and gritty!” —EMBARK | Peekskill, May 2016 Pluck & Rail’s debut record, TRIGGER, is an eclectic song series telling tales of misfits and mishaps that would make Tom Waits smile. A rare acoustic album that navigates the waters of folk, blues, country and sometimes punk, George and Andy harmonize and sing of the darker side of life: bodysnatching, addiction, divorce, hospitals and graveyards. Pluck & Rail believe that in our bumps and bruises we find our true beauty. Trigger is the sonic equivalent of a best-selling page-turner— come on along for a brilliant 37 minute ride! Since forming, Pluck & Rail have been featured performers at the The Long Island Bluegrass Festival, the Rock n’ Roots Music Festival and The Great Eastern Music Festival in Montauk, NY. They are currently at work at their unnamed follow-up album.
