Low-Country Messiahs

The Low-Country Messiahs are an ambient blues ensemble from Lowell, Massachusetts, active since 2003. The group was founded by former Sub Pop recording artist Green Magnet School drummer Robert Hamilton and guitarist Brian Watkins. The music features home-made cigar box guitars and primitive, minimal percussion. The Low-Country Messiahs made their live debut in 2004 as the opening act for Seekonk. Other appearances have included supporting Ditty Bops and Blanche. The group has released two albums on the Pincushion Star label. Hamilton appears in "Songs Inside the Box", a PBS documentary by film maker Max Shores.

gollark: The battery I could maybe replace if I can still buy the tools, but I don't even know what's wrong with the USB-C port.
gollark: No.
gollark: Maybe, the connector is just loose or something so it's hard to make it charge.
gollark: Battery and USB-C port.
gollark: Great, my dying phone has now reached the nign-unusable stage, so I need to somehow replace it in the middle of a disruptive global pandemic despite having not been able to find a satisfactory replacement I can actually afford.
