Artist / Band: Frontier Ruckus
Hosting Show: Feel Like Going Home
Sound: Dan Kinney

As Edgar Lee Masters was to the small towns of Illinois, so Frontier Ruckus is to the strip malls and suburbia of Detroit. The band's debut for the Ramseur label, Deadmalls and Nightfalls, evokes the mysteries and memories that haunt these everyday places.

Frontier Ruckus is essentially a five piece band: Matthew Milia on guitar and vocals, David Winston Jones on banjo, Brian Barnes on bass, Ryan Etzcorn on drums and Zach Nicholson on trumpet, saw and more. Together, they create a sound that's firmly rooted in bluegrass (just listen to Jones' three-finger rolls) and indie communitarian exuberance. But what really sets Frontier Ruckus apart is songwriter Milia, who has a way with language that's as fervent, fluid and intensely rhythmic as his band's collaboration. Frontier Ruckus performed at the Old Rock House on July 14, 2010.
