SUSS

SUSS

New York based trio, SUSS bridge classic Americana instrumentation with atmospheric minimalism, pioneering a genre they call “ambient country,” – a term aptly defining their vivid and singular sound.

SUSS have been described by UNCUT as if “Eno’s Apollo Atmospheres crash-landed in America’s Sonoran Desert,” and by Pitchfork as “Neither rawboned nor ramshackle… elegantly composed brand of ambient country stands as tall and clean as a brand-new pair of cowboy boots.”

SUSS embrace pedal steel, a National guitar, mandolin, harmonica, baritone guitar, and the harmonium interwoven with synthesizers and loops, creating a massive high lonesome sound.

Jonathan Gregg: Pedal Steel, dobro

Bob Holmes: Mandolin, baritone guitar, acoustic guitar, harmonica, violin, Keyboards

Nigel Roman

Opening up the night will be none other than our very own Nigel Roman.

Nigel Roman is a Joshua Tree, California native and has been a significant part of our local desert music community for years. Having played in many bands and projects, he will be providing us with a smooth and somewhat sacred message about love, loss, and the pursuit of internal happiness through his music.

The acoustic guitar will be the tool used to convey the different stages of his life and hardships. With a powerful vocal presence and a way with words, we are pleased to have one last chance to see him on the Mojave Gold stage.
