My Cousin, The Emperor
"Montevideo"
Playing at: The Studio at Webster Hall
(125 E. 11th St., East Village)
Get: Tickets | Directions
For singer/songwriter and North Carolina native Jason Reischel, it took a move to Brooklyn to inspire him to write songs with a Southern edge. With his band My Cousin, The Emperor, Reischel explores an alt-country sound that tips its hat to the indie rock scene while still maintaining a simple twang. On this languid, swaying track, the band moseys through a bittersweet melody that features bits of Dixie-rific banjo and pedal steel guitar.

I recently moved to NY from Austin where I soaked up the live music scene. I've been to see a few different shows here, but these guys have that toe-tappin', knee-slappin style with an edge. Saw them for the first time at Joe's Pub and really enjoyed the show!
I read about these guys on My Old Kentucky Blog about a month ago and I saw them at the Living Room last summer. Great tunes. "A Long Way from Home" is a nice track, too. I'd def be at this show if I didn't have a final at 9 tomorrow morning. Adding "Montevideo" to my study playlist though
Not alot of bands mix as many musical styles as these guys. Good stuff.
This band really is awesome and their live show really showcases their musicianship. Definitely worth checking out tonight!!
