The Pillars of Society

About Me

Influenced by the social and political climate of the times, the Pillars of Societys music reflects the current state of affairs. "They're extremely talented, and write music that transcends age, and to a certain degree, musical preference". Slightly left of center, their songs are well crafted with down to earth honesty, and have a sound steeped in tradition, from blues-based rock to bluegrass on steroids, with eye-opening lyrics. Their live show blends all of these elements, along with tongue-in-cheek humor and a bit of sarcasm, into one big rockin' good party for all. The production of Grammy award winning Scott Mathews on their latest record, "Short Stories", creates a sound that paints a universal Americana canvas. The POS firmly believes that there are plenty of people out there who can relate to what they are working hard to say, and that the marketplace will provide them an opportunity to be heard.
