Since the band's inception in March of 2010, California-based Dead Winter Carpenters has gained a reputation for steadfast touring, heartfelt performances, and authentic Americana.  Portland Metronome puts the quintet “at the forefront of a youthful generation trying to redefine what string music is and what it can do.' Dead Winter Carpenters have logged several appearances at some of the nation's top boutique festivals, including High Sierra Music Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, WinterWonderGrass, Yonder Mountain String Band's Harvest Festival and Northwest String Summit, along with multiple sold-out shows in their hometown and several west coast markets.  They have directly supported Jason Isbell, Easton Corbin, Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers, Greensky Bluegrass, and Railroad Earth. DWC are currently celebrating their 10th anniversary with the release of their new EP, Sinners 'n' Freaks.
