THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT

posted in: Artist Features • Features

Teenagers these days. When they’re not singing their hearts out in church, they’re off writing cautionary tales about teen pregnancy and girls with low self-esteem.

OK, so The Springs Band aren’t your average adolescents. Corn-fed and God-fearing, the group has already accomplished more than similar acts twice their age: A deal with CFC Nashville, an award for Youth Artist of the Year from ICM and shows alongside the likes of Ricky Skaggs and Sara Evans. Laugh if you will, but these teens are on a mission.

Prolific purveyors of tear-jerking country balladry, The Spring Band delivers a canon of stories sure to give you the sniffles “ whether its bringing Cheerios to a family in need, or sharing quality time with their mamas.  But the band truly excels when they kick piety to the side and act their age. The infectiously upbeat Save The Drama For Your Mama showcases some surprisingly scathing wit: If I wanted to see a grown man cry, I’d watch Dr. Phil.

Stick that in your Cheerios, emo boys.
