Bitter Pill

Self-described as “rhythm and bluegrass,” Bitter Pill is a tight-knit family, (literally father and daughter) who play a dark and anachronistic twist of folk, blues, jazz, rockabilly, and country. They released their first album, “Prepare Your Throats,” in the fall of 2018. Traditional and original songs from their staging of William Shakespeare’s violent, bloody, grotesquely ridiculous abomination of a play, “Titus Andronicus.” In May 2020 they released their second album, “Desperate Times on the New Hampshire State Line". A whimsical collection of foot stompin’, hand clappin’, spirited cross-genre tunes. July 2022 they released their third album, “livin aint cheap dyin aint free”. Now available for purchase and streaming on all the streamers.

“This ain’t a slice of the floppy hat, fancy boots, folk boom throwback found at vacant pop-folk festivals ‘round the world. This is the real deal, punch you in the gut and keep you coming back looking for more goods.” Seacoastonline.com
