Fronted by longtime Tucson musician Jason Steed, Creosote epitomizes the dusty americana sub-genre that many like to refer to as “desert rock.” Their sound is reminiscent of other rock-n-country locals like Greyhound Soul and Fourkiller Flats, but also calls to mind great national acts like Slobberbone and Wilco. Creosote has one full-length album, Blacksmoke, to their credit, and another one currently in the works.
Jason Steed & crew joined us on Locals Only in KXCI’s Studio 2A, and you can now download the full Creosote Studio 2A Performance and Interview.

2007 was a successful year for Tucson’s Golden Boots, as they released the full-length album Burning Brain, were signed to Pennsylvania-based Park the Van Records (home to Dr. Dog, and The Teeth, among others), and toured extensively with Magnolia Electric Co., while continuing to build upon their stellar reputation here in the Old Pueblo. 2008 looks to be even brighter for the Boots, as they’ll be releasing a new album as well as representing Tucson at Austin’s SXSW festival.
We managed to rope them in for a Locals Only appearance when they were fresh off a west coast tour, and you can now download the Golden Boots Studio 2A Performance and Interview.

Fronted by long-time local musician Kevin Henderson, The Swigs manage to fuse jam-band improvisation with classic rock grooves to create a fun aural experience. While Kevin Henderson released his own ambitious double-CD, Watch Your Head, on his Sapient Records label earlier this year, The Swigs are woodshedding and getting ready to record their own full-length album.
In the meantime, the trio joined us on Locals Only, and you can now download The Swigs Studio 2A Performance and Interview.
