Bill Nershi, guitarist/singer/songwriter from The String Cheese Incident, proudly presents his new mostly-acoustic project: Honkytonk Homeslice. Honkytonk Homeslice is a collaboration with his wife Jilian, who sings, plays guitar and contributes her original songs and Portland, Oregon-based singer/songwriter/guitarist/mandolin-player Scott Law.
The trio recorded their debut album last September at Sleeping Giant Studios in Colorado. Listening to these songs, you can sense the magic being created between the three musicians. The ringing harmonies and instruments seem to conjure a fourth member of the band into the room, giving their debut album a haunting quality, and a full, rich sound.
The music of Honkytonk Homeslice is largely acoustic, but Scott's electric guitar and Billy's lap steel often add subtle nuances to the music, creating a fresh sonic landscape. "We have a solid mutual trust and we constantly encourage each other to venture into uncharted territory." Law says. "Making this album has also opened the door for us to write as a team. We have a song we put together on out last tour called 'Cats,' an expressionist piece that I believe is just the tip of the iceberg."
The self titled debut from Honkytonk Homeslice delivers 13 songs of down-home Americana music and is available now in stores and online. Live tracks can also be downloaded at http://www.honkytonkhomeslice.com/music/
