Queens County Roots
Queens County Roots has been called “the gospel of real life shit” (Divide and Conquer). The Queens-based band is home to the Southern-flavored songwriting of guitarist Marlon Hurt. As an expat Atlanta boy living in New York City, Marlon’s music showcases an unlikely meeting of opposites. Blues and soul blend with indie flavors of pop and alt rock. Ear candy and wordplay mix with heavy beats and explosions of poetic imagery. This playful take on established Americana styles has led some critics to declare QCR one of the best emerging bands of 2019 (Indie Spoonful; Please Pass the Indie). The current line-up features: Rachel Dalton on lead vocals; Marlon Hurt on guitar & back-up vocals; Josh Agulnick on guitar; Hope Johnson on keyboards & back-up vocals; and A.J. Palumbo on drums.
