Steve Earle

Posted on January 30, 2017 by Al

It was rad to play with Steve Earle in Chicago last week. I was like, “Can I take a picture with you, is that lame?” He was like, “No man, it’s totally cool, I have a picture of me with Willie Nelson in my phone right now.” Looking forward to crossing paths again…

Year End Press Round Up!

Posted on December 20, 2016 by Al

Got a bunch of nice press this year. Thought we’d look back on some kind words…

Chicago Reader

“Al Scorch plays the banjo like he knows the most scenic spots on the Appalachian Trail”

Read the full interview here.

PopMatters
“At the same time, you know he lives in a time once graced by Jason Molina. Al Scorch has some of that purity about him, sounding like a soul too fragile for the weight of this world.”

Get the full interview here.

The Onion A.V. Club

“For years, Chicago-based musician Al Scorch has been the living embodiment of how punk’s spirit has crossed over into other genres of music.”

“Chicago singer/songwriter Al Scorch has a sound influenced by old timey country and bluegrass but also raw driving punk. It sometimes sounds like a more bluegrass version of Neutral Milk Hotel.”
