Two Fingers Of Firewater

Two Fingers Of Firewater are a young five-piece band from the South East, UK, playing original roots influenced music centred around the sound of the pedal steel/mandolin, acoustic guitar and keyboards/accordion. Aside from their weird and wonderful selection of melodic instruments Two Fingers of Firewater are essentially a good old-fashioned rock band. There are, however, strong elements of modern americana and traditional country within their unique sound.
