Having formed in October 2003 as a four-piece country band, Chapel Hill-based Puritan Rodeo soon found themselves as a band playing on the edge of vaudevillian and alt-country.

“I was actually playing with Vern [Dowdall], Sean [Dowdall] and Tom [Latimer] in another band — a rock band. I was getting near 30, and it was to that point I needed to step away from rock,” frontman John Pardue explained. “We started doing traditional bluegrass songs, a lot of traditional country songs, and then we just started being ourselves and it kind of evolved from that.”
Now seven members deep and with two albums in the bag, the band recorded its up-coming album, which is due out later this spring, with Ultra Fin Riz Productions‘ Jesse Olley. Olley has worked with Puritan Rodeo on each of its album, with each subsequent release inching closer to capturing the live sound that continues to draw audiences.
“We’re one of those bands that can make a good record, but the live show is a lot better,” Pardue said. “I don’t know that we’ve been able to capture the energy from a live show on a CD — which, a lot of my favorite bands haven’t done that. The live show is more of a cohesive thing, though I temper that by saying the CDs are very cohesive … but there’s just something live you can’t capture on tape.”
From guitars and banjos, to cello and fiddle, Puritan Rodeo runs the gamut of traditional string instruments, which combines for a lush arrangement of Americana music.
Toss in a harmonica, full drum kit, electric bass and Pardue’s whiskey-soaked lyrics, Puritan Rodeo gives its listeners something that’s a little bit country, a little bit vaudevillian and a whole lot fun.
