Slackstring's
Self-Titled Debut
At just a shade over a half-hour it’s one
of those perfect records to put a wedge between
you and the rest of your day. Like The Replacements’
Let It Be or Nick Drake’s Pink Moon, both
classic half hour corkers, it lets us grieve the
workaday disappointments and makes us guardedly
hopeful for what tomorrow might bring.

Experience
Slackstring Live!
Recorded
in Burlington, Vermont at the legendary Nectar's, Place
to Be shows Slackstring at the top of their
game. Featuring fan-favorites from the Van Album,
songs from the upcoming studio album Lay Back,
two cover songs and a guest appearance by Don McCloskey,
Place to Be is a vivid portrait of the
live Slackstring experience.

Slackstring's sophomore studio album
Some artists usher in cool breezes and warm feelings. You could play them in a snowstorm and still want to slip on a tank top and flip flops after they got through with you. Put another way, some music makes you feel good, or hell, just a little bit better about the human condition. Slackstring strives for this vibe, and their second album, Lay Back (self-released), shows them growing stronger and more complex as musicians and songwriters on top of their natural buoyancy.
