Singer, Ryan Sollee and Willy, the brand new bass player for the group, joined me for a little conversation at the KINK studios. Ryan and Willy agree: they PREFER the mostly eccentric crowd that are habitues of their shows, across the country.And when trying to (god forbid) label their sound, it comes down to "gospel, blues, bluegrass, goth" but all done through the lens of The Builders, who aren't necessarily pros in the some of those genres. The music? Powerful, and dark. I love their approach to videos as well, so I posted a produced, and live one. LISTEN TO OUR CONVERSATION, BELOW.
