For nearly two years, David Huckfelt and Benson Ramsey of the folk and blues duo The Pines have been keeping very busy. Freshly transplanted to Minneapolis in 2003, The Pines released an impressive first record, and shared stages with such diverse acts as The Arcade Fire, Jolie Holland, Kelly Joe Phelps, Haley Bonar, Split Lip Rayfield and Spider John Koerner. As a duo, or with the addition of talented rhythm sections as a full band, The Pines have steadily gained attention for their edgy mix of original songwriting, inventive arrangement, and raw blues-groove. With a new EP, "Seven Folk Songs" and a solo record, "Light Under the Door" from Benson Ramsey on the way, The Pines are a young force in American roots music.

The Pines specialise in blues covers which are guaranteed to get your 'Mojo Working'.
