About Me

Joltwagon is rollicking sonic grit and melody. From Asheville, North Carolina, the band is forging its own blend of rock with intriguing songwriting, soaring guitar work, and clawhammer banjo. While captivating with its pop sensibility and harmonies, the group moves effortlessly from freewheeling rock to alt-country to gypsy/klezmer instrumentals. As listeners are swept along in an eclectic mosaic of sound, they might imagine Neil Young & Crazy Horse meets John Hartford with a Wilco aesthetic on the side.Joltwagon has played regularly around Asheville and western NC and the surrounding states since 2006. They have performed at the Montford Music and Arts Festival, the French Broad River Festival, and the Warren Haynes Xmas Jam By Day. Their music has been played on radio stations WNCW, 98.1 The River, and 105.6 The Mountain.
Joltwagon takes great songwriting, quality musicianship, and a deep passion for their art and brings it to life on this wonderful CD. They offer a plethora of sounds that quench the musical pallet in every form, from country/rockabilly to grass roots/americana to an eclectic sound that can only be described as enjoyable. This CD surpasses your expectation with their originality and just ass-kickin good music. - Smoky Mountain Navigator Magazine
