Mother McKenzie

Mother McKenzie

Genres: Country, Folk, Indie rock
Web site: http://www.myspace.com/themusicofwyattmckenzie

Mother McKenzie is fronted by Vegas wunderkind Wyatt McKenzie, who utilizes the band to demonstrate his impossibly advanced musical abilities: storytelling, composition, instrumental dexterity. McKenzie knits together dusty folk tunes that sound both timeworn and next-gen.
