“Frontier Folk Nebraska believes in the continuing relevance of a classic‐era kind of alt‐rock that flirts with occasional messiness in order to let its organically electric sound come together without too much art‐think or conceptualism. Faith is put in the music’s energy as the right conduit to showcase interesting songwriting… Neither from Nebraska nor a folk group, Frontier Folk Nebraska is instead a Cincinnati band that sounds like the Replacements attacking power pop with their thrashing guitar‐and‐drum energy kept in check by their love for melody and appealing song structure.”
‐Steve Rosen – BLURT Magazine

A four piece Americana band from Louisville, KY. They’ve released two EPs, “Extra Better” in 2013, and then “Light of Day” in 2014.Through relentless touring, they’ve become mainstays of the Midwest Americana scene. In September of 2015, they set ten highway-tested, fine-tuned songs loose in the confines of LA LA Land Studios. The result is “Midwest Heart/Southern Blues”. The new album is a gritty, upbeat collection of songs, full of characters who were developed while staring over the dash of a beat up Ford van cruising through towns in the South and Midwest, whose better days are behind them.

Two brothers on Long Island vie for the attention of Sabrina, the daughter of the wealthy family’s chauffeur, played by Audrey Hepburn. Both brothers have fallen under Sabrina’s spell, but only one will win her affection. Will it be the playboy, played by William Holden, or the serious brother, played by Humphrey Bogart?
The New York Times called Sabrina “the most delightful comedy-romance in years,” and the same can be said today. This film was nominated for six Academy Awards, winning one for Best Costume Design. It also won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay.
