Considering that the band was founded in a kitchen, it’s probably appropriate that Roxie Watson’s music is a blend of many musical ingredients.
The Atlanta-based, all-female band features members with backgrounds in rock, bluegrass and punk music playing songs drawing elements of wildly divergent genres, including R&B, zydeco, country, traditional Appalachian and New Orleans jazz.
As a recipe, it may sound like a questionable mix, but the self-described “alterna-grass” band members said they are winning people over wherever they go.
