Intent on crafting original Alt-Country/Americana music and united by a love of solid, honest songwriting, The Wrenfields have proven to be one of the smartest-thinking, hardest-working, loudest-rocking country bands. Dubbed early on as “Detroit’s Favorite Alt-Country Group” by the Detroit MetroTimes, the band’s members collectively combine their diverse musical influences and wealth of experiences to deliver a brand of genre-crossing country music that garners critical accolades, not only from national press but also critics in the UK, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Japan and Canada.
The Wrenfields’ first album 21st Century Pioneer and follow-up release Seconds were both produced by Tyler Brown (Mark Olson, Victoria Williams), and collectively sold 10,000 copies; both albums received international critical acclaim. “Every Now and Then”, the first single from Seconds, made its way to the European Country Charts. In their hometown of Detroit, the band is a standard-bearer, having been awarded numerous Detroit Music Awards for both recording and performance in the Country category.
On their upcoming release entitled Green Man’s Ghost (Summer 2009), The Wrenfields have teamed up with Gary Louris (The Jayhawks, Dixie Chicks) and Ed Ackerson (Polara); recording and producing the album at Ackerson’s Flowers Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Wrenfields’ new material reveals a more interpersonal side of lyricists and co-lead singers Noreen Kurowski and John Pyro and displays yet another face of this versatile band.
