With their feet on the ground and their toes in the mystic river, the cosmic cowboys of Liquor Mountain temper their alt-country leanings with a firm dose of rock & roll energy. Led by the duo of Danny Vescarelli and Steve Rozitis and hailing from diverse acts in and around Calgary, members bring along a DIY aesthetic as they follow the time-honoured practice of forward-thinking bands taking a page from traditional music, blending a Western songwriting style with modern psych and garage to craft a synthesis of styles. In 2020 the band was fortunate to write and produce a brand new track for The Sled Island Lemonade Stand albums, after having also performed at the 2019 edition of the festival. The group’s downright-fun live show has seen them cover the prairies from Edmonton to Saskatoon to Lethbridge, while at home they celebrated their 2021 return to the stage along with the release of The Palomino’s vinyl compilation, featuring their song “Lost Time.” With this handful of recently released singles and plans for a full-length album in the works, Liquor Mountain is primed to be the soundtrack for a whole plethora of foggy memories.
