The 7-piece Americana band, Blackwood Row, was formed nearly two years ago by ambitious songwriter and vocalist Raquelle Blackwood shortly after starting her first semester in college. From early on it was clear that the band would be destined to achieve significant recognition in the Americana/Folk community; a premonition that seems even more achievable with the release of the band’s debut EP, “Werewolf.” The project combines insightful songwriting with lush instrumentation, where story-like verses seamlessly transition into howling choruses. From the opening track, “Broken Bone” to the consoling closer, “Little Time,” the project masterfully captures a contrast of perspectives on sensitive experiences and self-reflection.
