Pine Hill Haints with special guests Cadillac Bombers

Pine Hill Haints - Taking inspiration from roots music and Southern tales of the supernatural, the Pine Hill Haints play a self-described style of " Alabama ghost country" that touches upon honky tonk, rockabilly, folk, and bluegrass. As a child, Jamie Barrier (vocals, guitar) often joined his grandfather in attending local hootenannies, where he was exposed to the musical traditions of his native Alabama . Later, Barrier honed his own voice by singing in a graveyard -- the Pine Hill Cemetery . Barrier formed the Pine Hill Haints in 1998 piecing together a revolving lineup that ultimately solidified around core members Matt Bakula (washtub bass, banjo), Ben Rhyne (snare drum), and Jamie's wife, Katie Barrier (washboard, mandolin). The band issued its earliest recordings (three full-lengths, a 12" vinyl, and several split albums) on Barrier's own Arkam Records before attracting attention from K Records' founder Calvin Johnson, who then signed the band. www.myspace.com/pinehillhaints
