There are very few bands that I would consider featuring without running some sort of review or interview. The Delta Saints, however, are a band that I believe everyone should hear of. There’s so much I want to say about these boys.
The Delta Saints‘ high-energy style merges southern rock, blues, and soul into a sonic array of sounds and ideas that come out sweatily and wholly their own.
A Nashville band with multiple connections to the Lawrence music scene, they did an acoustic in-studio session at KJHK, KU’s student-ran radio station. I was lucky enough to sit in on the session with them. You can view a video of it here:

In order to record their first full-length Death Letter Jubilee, The Delta Saints have started a Kickstarter campaign and have some pretty awesome rewards for anyone who backs them.
They play Kansas City at the Brick tonight (Oct. 29) with Root and Stem and Cowboy Indian Bear. They also have a few more tour dates coming up, which you can check out below. Make sure you go out and support these guys, check out a show, donate to their Kickstarter, buy a CD, or send them a comment on Facebook. Anything helps and a little goes a long way.
