Fuzzy, heavy, and paying homage to the roots, Mountain Rag is the music of whiskey-soaked nights, and days spent aimlessly wandering desert roads under a painted Big Sky. Michael Presho (guitar), Nick Dettmer (drums), and Ryan Nelson (vocals/bass) met with music in mind, soon recording songs that begin to unearth the dark mythology of the American West — all with a bluesy undercurrent and driving primal force. The Austin-based trio honed their gritty sound through a slew of South Texas shows, and built a podcast following for the “dirty honesty” in their craft. The band’s debut EP, Of the Southern Plains, released in August 2015, has fans buzzing that, “like a Tres Hombres-era ZZ Top…this could be a driving to/from work classic.” NOTE: While the band checks this profile relatively frequently, please direct time-sensitive inquiries/contact to mountainragband@gmail.com
