Max Niemann & the Fellow Travelers w/ Jacob Slade, & Holy Pinto
Armed with little but a 6-string, a harp rack and a stack of songs that harken back to the wrought folk rock of yesteryear, Max Niemann packs a punch that is as heartfelt as it is biting. Roaming a sonic trail blazed by country punks and folk poets immemorial, pre-Dylan on up through Tweedy, Niemann follows in the footsteps of the American troubadour lineage, propelling it into the present with songs that are as likely to strike a chord with the modern metropolitan as they are the lonesome wanderer. With his ever-evolving band of Fellow Travelers at his side, the group provides rustic backdrops for the hard-nosed, intimate stories of human joy, suffering and striving that occupy Niemann’s songs.
Jacob Slade is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Milwaukee, WI. His new album Momentary Traces is described by Breaking and Entering as “gentle, sincere, and imaginative” and works to combine elements of folk, pop, and rock to create a dynamic and meaningful listening experience. Drawing on influences such as Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, Beck, and many others, Jacob hopes to create a sound that is both nostalgic and unique.
