The Bonesetters set the trail ablaze for whimsical folk rock in Muncie by headlining at local hot spots like Village Green Records, Doc's Music Hall and The Heorot.
The band was recently named the third-best in Muncie in Doc's Music Hall's Battle of the Band's Competition.
The Bonesetters consist of Dan Snodgrass on vocals and guitar, Sam Shafer on trumpet and keyboards, Ryan Rader on bass, Jeremy Bauer on saw and back-up vocals and Joey Morrow on drums.
The eclectic mesh of instruments combined with the haunting sounds of a bowed saw gives the band an original sound separate from the mass of folk rock musicians. Their influences include Tom Waits, Ennio Morricone and Andrew Bird.
"It's getting a much fuller sound," Shafer said. "It's getting more rock ‘n' roll."
The band just released their "Savages" EP featuring the songs "Bruises," "Xanax," "Maypole," "Revival" and "Shakespeare." The group hopes to begin doing weekend tours once the summer begins. They are currently preparing to record a full-length album.
