Dainesly

Dainesly performs at 9 p.m. Saturday, July 7, at Alibi Ale Works – Truckee Public House. Free show.

Since forming in 2016, Dainesly has become a staple of the eclectic Reno music scene. At first glance it may be easy to pigeonhole them as a straight-ahead honky-tonk band but one listen to its debut album “Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory” exposes the listener to sonic nuances tinged in lo-fi psychedelia and a lyrical deftness not usually present on a debut effort. Sitting somewhere between a country-fied Tom Petty and a reserved J. Roddy Walston, the outfit is a classic sounding amalgam of country guitar stylings, steadfast rhythms, and singable hooks.

What started as a solo project for lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Bryan Daines (formerly of the band Dead Winter Carpenters) has quickly gained momentum with the addition of a rhythm section whose pedigree speaks for itself. Alex Korostinsky and Aaron Chiazza of Whatitdo and The Sextones hold down bass and drums respectively while Shawn Tamborini of Jake Houston & The Royal Flush rounds out the band on pedal steel. Recently, local jazz prodigy Chris Sexton was added on the piano and organ. The members’ combined sure-handedness, stage presence, and overall abilities make a live Dainesly show an unforgettable experience.

The band’s ascent to regional notoriety has been swift; sharing bills with artists such as The Brothers Comatose and Greensky Bluegrass, Dainesly’s latest release “Snatching Defeat…” is currently available on iTunes, Spotify, and every other major streaming service.
