WINTER’S BONE Musicians Announce US Tour

Light In The Attic Records is proud to announce that this summer musicians from the Oscar nominated film Winter's Bone and its soundtrack will be taking to the road, performing their unique take on the traditional music of the Missouri Ozarks to audiences across the US and Canada.

This intimate evening of music will feature Marideth Sisco, Blackberry Winter, Bo Brown, Van Colbert, Dennis Crider, Tedi May, and Linda Stoffel - the original Ozarks musicians from the Winter's Bone film, playing their authentic blend of traditional Americana in what will be their first ever North American tour. Bear witness to a legacy that spans generations in the making, performed by the heirs of the Great American Songbook.

Winter's Bone, the Music: Among the highlights of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack are the old time sounds of the Ozarks translated into the 21st century by stellar vocalist Marideth Sisco. Her Ronnie Gilbert (of the Weavers) inspired vocals are absolute joy - and she's an expert storyteller of the Ozarks region. Her spoken word podcast, These Ozarks Hills, can be found online at KSMU.org and on iTunes. Although these musicians are not nationally known (yet), this soundtrack should draw attention to these regional heroes. Dennis Crider; an expert Western Swing guitar picker; Missouri bluegrass maverick Bo Brown; claw hammer banjo picker Van Colbert; upright bass maven Tedi May and Appalachian song stylist Linda Stoffel accompany Sisco in a well-crafted show that will delight fans of "No Depression" and classic Americana music.

Winter's Bone, the Movie; Based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell, the film stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Burning Plain) in an Oscar nominated performance that's been called "mesmerizing" (Entertainment Weekly). Co-starring John Hawkes (HBO's "Deadwood"), who was nominated for an Oscar for his powerful performance, the tension-filled drama follows a teenage girl (Lawrence) who sets off on a danger-filled journey through rural Missouri to find her missing father. Seventeen-year-old Ree Dolly must track him down and find the dangerous truth about her father - without getting herself killed - in this taut, pulse-pounding thriller. Nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture.
