Hailing from the Blue Ridge Valley settlement of Roanoke, located in southwestern Virginia, the Young Sinclairs is a highly accomplished and gifted conglomerate of enterprising young mavericks steeped in the traditions of tuneful entertainment. Armed with tube amps, 12 strings, and enough reverb to swath half of the continent in a pool of electronically amplified pop-art, this group of musical magicians pluck, bang, and wail their way across the highways in search of open minds and ears. The diverse melodic material that drips from the golden-loomed pen of chief songwriter and vocalist Sam Lunsford spreads far and wide across the sonic landscape while remaining firmly rooted in the primitive earthly cadence of folk-based rock and roll music. Below-the-belt Dionysian rhythmical insistence blends with shimmering Apollonian transcendental beauty into a unique and distinctly modern American experience, though structurally and conceptually indebted to the techniques developed by pioneer genius musicianeers of the past, particularly the 1960’s.
The Young Sinclairs have been operating as a completely self-sufficient unit since 2005, leaving behind a trail of home-brew CD-R and cassette releases on the way. Now, in cooperation with Athens-based Kindercore Records, they have completed their first vinyl long player, Songs of The Young Sinclairs, an anthology LP of sorts, consisting of stand-out fave cuts from all their self-released albums, along with some exclusive tracks thrown in for good measure. They produce and engineer all their records in their state-of-the-art recording facility, The Mystic Fortress, which serves as home-base for a larger Roanoke musical collective known as The Magic Twig Community (of which the Young Sinclairs are charter members.)
