The Carpenter Ants Long-running West Virginia-based roots-rock/country-soul band formed in the mid-1980s, known for their rich harmonies, stinging solos, and high-energy performances. With over 3,000 shows, the group has toured internationally (including three trips to Moscow), backed various artists, and released multiple albums produced by Don Dixon, defining a "loose-but-tight" Appalachian soul sound.
