With an intense cocktail of psychedelic guitar rock and R&B sensibility, In the Pines has been serving energetic grooves throughout Cincinnati and the greater midwest area since the band's inception in 2015. The band's unique style of dynamic rock is influenced by acts like Spoon, Dr. Dog, and Tame Impala, but continues to evolve and incorporate other genres. The inclusion of saxophone on songs like "Driftin" is an indication of the band's concurrent love for jazz, fusion, and contemporary hip
With an intense cocktail of psychedelic guitar rock and R&B sensibility, In the Pines has been serving energetic grooves throughout Cincinnati and the greater midwest area since the band's inception in 2015.
The band's unique style of dynamic rock is influenced by acts like Spoon, Dr. Dog, and Tame Impala, but continues to evolve and incorporate other genres. The inclusion of saxophone on songs like "Driftin" is an indication of the band's concurrent love for jazz, fusion, and contemporary hip hop.
In the Pines has played with national acts like:
+ The Jag
+ The Minks
+ Go Go Buffalo
+ Fire is Motion
The group is built upon the musical partnership of Charlie Horn (drums) and Michael Shular (guitar/vocals), who were previously playing together in the band Inglorious Neighbors. They reformed as In the Pines in April 2016 with Max Moser (guitar), and played a series of shows and parties thoughout the Cincinnati region before releasing their eponymous EP the following September. After the release of their full LP "Mirror of Evolution" in August of 2017, In the Pines enlisted the talent of Patrick Zopff (bass/vocals), and Graham Holthaus (alto saxophone), who both lend their own musical perspective to the band's diverse mixture of styles.
Most weekends, In the Pines plays at bars and other venues in Cincinnati. During their much anticipated residency at Urban Artifact in March 2018, they will be hosting traveling bands of varying genres from all around the midwest.
