But the genre has never experienced anything like Essex County. Comprised of British brothers Nate, Mark and Kieran Bass, the trio is one of country music’s more artful and nuanced groups. The band’s sound is rich with tight, family harmonies, enhanced by multi-octave vocal ranges and broadened by sweeping country and rock influences that are showcased in songs that swing from soulful and heartfelt to "holler-and-swaller".
