Live Music: Uncanny Erie presents Pentagram String Band and Sugaree String Society

Johnny Lawhorn is the frontman for the Pentagram String Band. The PSB are a satanic bluegrass band from KCMO. They are suspicious of traditional bluegrass and play a style of gothic folk, punk, and thrash metal. Often involving cannibalism and murder, their lyrics focus on themes of satan, misery and the joys of death

Hailing from the plains of eastern Kansas, Marty Bush is a torchbearer of the American songwriting tradition. His songs resonate with the weight of his influences such as Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, and Kris Kristofferson, but he has channeled their emotional honesty and unvarnished truth-telling into something uniquely his own.
