Downtown Senate has earned a reputation in North Carolina’s piedmont as a roots-flavored outfit with a pile of Americana influences and the chops to make them worth a listen through the bar smoke haze. Mixing in old-time banjo romps with hill country rock and blues, the five-piece High Point-based crew plays bouncy drinking anthems that will make you reminisce about fist-pumping long nights with the Blue Rags and Jupiter Coyote.
