Details:
The Low Tide Drifters are an Americana band from Eugene, Oregon with deep roots in the cultural heritage of the Pacific Northwest. Influenced by artists such as Woody Guthrie, Utah Phillips, Guy Clark, John Prine, and Rosalie Sorrels, The Low Tide Drifters combine a love of folk, blues, and country music with original lyrics to produce their unique sound. Whether singing about Lake County loggers, a waitress trying to make it out of a stunted coastal economy, or fishing towns turned tourist traps, the Drifters are doing something few other bands are doing today—writing music that paints a picture of everyday working people.
The Low Tide Drifters have performed at many quality venues in the Willamette Valley area. As a socially conscious band, the Low Tide Drifters have also performed for union and community organizers, home healthcare workers, and social justice organizations. The Drifters are also establishing themselves on the festival circuit and will be playing the Sasquatch Microbrew Festival in June, 2009.
The band is well established on the Internet with fan sites on MySpace (https://www.tradebit.com and Facebook.
