Brett Knickerbocker
Lost Signal EP
Self-Released
Street: 11.20.15
Brett Knickerbocker = Jake Bugg + Tyler Hilton
Singer/songwriter Brett Knickerbocker embodies a country-rock cowboy. Lost Signal EP is an almost all-acoustic set that sounds country-rock in its instrumentation with excited and emphatic strums. Knickerbocker taps into a folk-like vibe, too, with dramatic starts and stops amid chords on tracks like “A Quieter Scene,” and with drawn-out vowels and outcries—“Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah!” Originally from Illinois, Knickerbocker is a transplant who now calls this Salty City his home. –Lizz Corrigan
