The Pine Box Boys are a darkly spirited bluegrass and roots outfit hailing from San Francisco, California, known for weaving tales of murder, mayhem, and the macabre into their traditionally-steeped musical stylings. Formed in 2003 by frontman and principal songwriter Lester T. Raww, the band consists of Raww on guitar and vocals, Alex "Possum" Carvidi on banjo and vocals, Steven "Your Uncle Dodds" Dodds on upright bass, and Col. Timothy Leather handling the mandolin. Their name, a cryptic nod to coffins and the darker side of folklore, sets the tone for their haunting narratives and skillful play on bluegrass traditions.

Over the years, The Pine Box Boys have cultivated a loyal following with their riveting live performances and a discography that injects a sinister twist into Americana. Recent releases such as "The Feast of Three Arms" and "Worms" showcase their progression into an ever more refined storytelling prowess, layered with rich instrumental prowess that manages to both pay homage to and transcend their bluegrass roots. With albums like "Tales from the Emancipated Head" and "Child of Calamity," they have continued to explore the intersection of narrative and music, delivering chilling stories accompanied by the high lonesome sound of banjos and mournful harmonies. Their works "STAB!" and "Arkansas Killing Time" further cement their reputation as purveyors of a unique genre sometimes referred to as "bloodgrass," blending the traditional with the transformative power of contemporary horror and folklore.
