Biography
SugarPine is a...

concrete-country--
gutter-trash--
dirt-track-dates--
new yawk--
slack-jawed cracker--
sweet potato harmony--
jackhammer-driven--
calloused-hand-playin--
band.

Seperated at birth, Alabama born, Brad Penuel, and Brooklyn bred, Derek Buckner, met in the country cradle of Nashville...and instantly hated each other. Years later, they recognized each other while surfing Rockaway Beach in New York, and within weeks SugarPine was
born.

SugarPine's influences are Gram Parsons, potted meat, Wilco, Butthole Surfers, Hank Williams and anything on a bun.

Derek (formerly of Wiseacre and the Swollen Spleens and Aquaboy), a native New Yorker, is well versed in rock and urban genres.

Brad, moving to NYC from Nashville and Alabama, grounds SugarPine's music in country.

Together with Byrne Klay on Bass and Jim Bracken on Drums they combine alt-country and rock in a great live performance.

Sugarpine is currently a major contributor in the evolving New York country scene.

i really love this CD

I was really excited to discover this band. I have seen them live many times and was happy to discover that their CD "Ball Peen Hammer" is really fantastic. Derek Buckner and Brad Penuel have their harmonies down and Derek Buckner plays a mean telecaster. These guys remind me a bit of the Birds mixed with Pavement and Skynard.
