DESOLATION
ANGELS
For the past 10 years, Desolation
Angels has worked hard at
perfecting a unique but potent
blend of country songwriting with
southern rock flourishes, driven by
pure Detroit muscle. Their sound
is as unique as their members, but
as sincere and enjoyable as those
influences they take to heart.
Their ballads are sincere. Their
rockers are lively. They show enough
of those artists who inspire them –
The Allman Brothers, Uncle Tupelo,
Johnny Cash, CCR, The Rolling
Stones – while never losing that
boundless energy and unique style
that shows they are always a
Detroit band first, and truly
something to see live.
They have released three
well-received albums: High In
Third Gear (2006), Hell or
Highwater (2012) and last year’s
GBS Sessions (2013).
The Desolation Angels line-up of
Dan McKernan (guitar/vocals), John
“Wolf” Abel (bass), Erik Pelto
(drums) and Josh Weddle (guitar)
are respected as players throughout
Michigan and the Midwest.
