about

Debut E.P. from Mississippi Bends

Mississippi Bends is Hamilton Based Alt Country/North Americana band with a dark, swampy organic brew that will buckle your knees faster than a triple whiskey sour. Mixing the multi-grit ambient textures of Andrew Aldridge's guitar sounds and the dark country croons of Mary Simon's voice comes the unique sound of this duo. In 2015 Mississippi Bends was nominated for New Artist/Group of the Year and Alt/Country Recording of the Year with the Hamilton Music Awards for their self-titled EP.

"I was never a big fan of the name Mississippi Bends" says Andrew... " I've always liked it, and I came up with the name, but I was a little unsure about it. Now, however, I realize it fits what we're doing perfectly. It's not about the State of Mississippi or the Delta Blues Sound or something specifically Southern/Country. It's about travelling throughout the country along the entire length of the Mississippi River and being witness to a true American, or rather North Americana sound - Everything from Swampy Delta Blues to Alt Country to Mid Western Rock to Folk to Chicago Electric Blues and Experimentation to Classic Rock and Pop Sounds of the North. Willie Neslon to Ryan Adams to Tom Petty to Buddy Miller to Lucinda Williams to Albert King to Sonic Youth to Dan Lanois. A true North American Experience."
