49 Winchester comes to Orlando

New West Records has its next shooting star in 49 Winchester, a group that’s gone from smalltown Appalachia to touring the world as a meteoric buzz band.

Their kind of country music is alternative only in the sense that they’re an antidote to the Nashville pop establishment. Otherwise, their full-winged, rock-powered sound is true to the roots and shoots for a soulful, maximalist take on classic country lushness with pedal steel and organ.

7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, The Plaza Live, $29-$169.
