The Pines

McGonigel’s Mucky Duck presents The Pines.

Iowa-born/Minneapolis-based folk rock artists the The Pines have created a loyal following for their lush, layered sound and poetic lyrics inspired by the land and folklore of the American Midwest.

Bridging the folk, roots and indie worlds with their modern take on American music, frontmen/songwriters Benson Ramsey and David Huckfelt share a common musical language rooted in the songs and songwriters of their native Iowa, while each bringing a distinct voice and sensibility to a sound that Rolling Stone’s David Fricke dubbed “quietly gripping.”

“simply and eloquently stated sonic poetry…the real deal.” -Acoustic Guitar

“Richly resonant indie-folk in the vein of Bon Iver, Calexico and Mason Jennings” – The Onion A.V. Club

“a hushed mix of acoustic and electric guitars and keyboards creates a kind of haunted landscape … an affecting portrait capturing an American journey” -All Music

“a dusty and often ghostly take on Americana” -CBS Minnesota
