Trailer Park Troubadours

Antsy McClain and The Trailer Park Troubadours are quintessential Americana, but not in the musical genre kind of way. Oh no, McClain is Americana in the reared-in-a-trailer-park-by-a-truck-driving-father and Avon-selling-mother kind of way. Like a surreal Norman Rockwell painting come to life, McClain is the embodiment of the small-town, blue-collar life he experienced growing up in a little Kentucky trailer park called Pine View Heights. The characters and characteristics he witnessed in Pine View Heights made an indelible impression on the young artist in training. He grew into a first-rate songwriter, incredible visual artist and insightful humorist. He was also hit with a touch of the mad genius. His latest CD, Trailercana, which releases on May 22nd, is a showcase for his diverse talents and for The Trailer Park Troubadours.McClain stamped every aspect of Trailercana with his unique vision. Not only did he write all the songs on the record, he also produced it, did the artwork and graphic design on both the album and the band's website. He infused the album with the rootsy, muscular blend of rock and roll that has become his trademark. McClain calls the music "folkabilly," and his live shows with the Troubadours are a unique mix of masterful musicianship and self-deprecating humor. www.unhitched.com
