Jolt Wagon was a great little band we caught at the Montford festival Saturday. The band is David Bradshaw, Michael Hart and Dalton Stansbury. Here’s what they say about themselves:

Jolt Wagon is an Asheville-based band that focuses on writing and performing original music. We care primarily about the songs, and prefer a melody and a harmony rather than an extended jam. The band mixes a variety of acoustic and electric instrumentation — acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, mandolin, steel guitars, bass and drums — to create a wide-ranging blend of original music with roots in rock & pop, old country, hillbilly, and folk rock. If you have to label us, call it “Gritty Americana/Eclecticana.”
