Midtown Dickens uses traditional instruments to pull the history out of the Southern soil on which they were formed, and spread the seeds of roots music all over the country. All of the band’s members grew up in North Carolina and their roots run deep having absorbed music from family, friends, and Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music. The instruments may be traditional, but the collective world view of the band and the way the music is being presented is not. Listen Up Denver!….this is Midtown Dickens.

Midtown Dickens’ third release, Home is well-crafted, and a shining example of modern day American Folk music. While the album captures the authenticity of acoustic instruments, which stand in the forefront, there are layers of sounds in each track. Simple? Yes. Stripped down? Maybe. Basic? Not a freakin’ chance.
