River Tramps and Jack Marion & the Pearl Snap Prophets

  • Live at Ted's 2 Castle Street Wilmington, NC, 28401 United States (map)

Doors open at 7pm, show 8-10pm. $15 tickets available soon!

THE RIVER TRAMPS CREATE EVOCATIVE MELODIES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED A COLD DRINK, ‘SPECIALLY A SWEATING BEER IN THE HEAT OF SUMMERTIME. THAT FIRST REFRESHING SIP COMES IN THE FORM OF ADAM AND NIKO'S EARTHY, AND DEEPLY PASSIONATE VOCAL QUALITY. THEY SPIN LYRICS AND MELODIES THAT CUT LIKE A CHISEL TO THE WOOD ON A LATHE.

WITH A SOUND THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FOLK, BEACH GOTH, AND DESERT ROCK THE DUO HAS IMPLEMENTED THE BEST OF THEIR FAMILIAL ROOTED AREAS OF INFLUENCE; RIO, IMMERSED IN TRADITIONAL CLASSIC MEXICAN STYLE FOLK, AND ADAM, A CLASSIC ROCK JUNKIE WITH A COMBINED LOVE FOR 90’S COUNTRY, THE TWO SHARE A BIG LOVE FOR MOUNTAIN MUSIC WHICH HAS BEEN KEY TO KEEPING THEIR MUSICAL NARRATIVE ON TRACK.

HAVING PERFORMED WITH THE LIKES OF FELLOW TEXAN AND GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING, RADNEY FOSTER, GRAMMY-NOMINATED FEMALE SUPERGROUP THE KRICKETS, AND ALONGSIDE JOHN PAUL WHITE FROM THE FORMER DUO, THE CIVIL WARS RIVER TRAMPS CONTINUE TO FINE-TUNE AND EXPERIMENT WITH THE CHALLENGES OF PERFORMING AS A TWO-SOME.

FOLLOWING THEIR LATEST RELEASE, MARE AND THE MAIDEN, RIVER TRAMPS ARE SET TO GET BACK IN THE SADDLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2021.

Formed in 2017 in the mountains of North Carolina, Jack Marion and The Pearl Snap Prophets bring the storytelling of folk music and mix it with the high-energy and recklessness of outlaw country. The band was born out of an idea between founding members Jack Marion (vocals/guitar), Chandler Bell (bass), and Marcus Clonts (drums) to make music reminiscent of their favorite artists (Johnny Cash, Turnpike Troubadours, American Aquarium, Tom Petty) and to create songs that they themselves would enjoy. The band then brought in members Owen Myers (Lead Guitar) and Matt Guard (Keyboard) to round out their sound. With their style of Country Rock, Jack Marion and The Pearl Snap Prophets keep audiences moving and never leave a crowd disappointed. Hard work and perseverance drives the band to continue to play shows across the state of North Carolina and reach audiences at every corner of the Old North State.

The band released their debut EP Devil and Me on August 24th, 2018 which was followed by 2019s When the Well Runs Dry, the bands full-length debut. For now they continue to run the roads, winning fans the hard way.
