1245 Chicago Avenue, Evanston, IL 60202
Fust, the Durham, North Carolina-based band, announces the release of their new album 'Big Ugly' on March 7th via Dear Life Records. The album arrives after the success of their previous releases, 'Songs of the Rail' and 'Genevieve,' which showcased the band's unmistakable blend of small-town poetry and country-tinged folk-rock. 'Big Ugly' finds Fust taking their gutsy, blue-collar Americana sound to new heights, with songwriter Aaron Dowdy's storytelling delving into the contradictions and utopian possibilities of Southern life.
Why We Like It
- Fust is a group of close friends who have developed a sincere and fried guitar rock sound over the years.
- The album features contributions from a talented group of musicians, including Merce Lemon, Dave Hartley, and John James Tourville.
- Fust's music could appeal to fans of indie, Southern rock, and lyric-forward Americana.
Who Should Attend
Fans of Fust's previous work, as well as those interested in the intersection of Southern literature and gutsy, blue-collar Americana, will likely enjoy this event.
