Lean EP out 5/16/2025, is Bison Bone’s newest 3 song EP. Bison Bone’s frontman, Courtney Whitehead writes these songs about “everyday life and not the romantically metaphorical, the beauty in the simple moments.” “It was all cut live in the studio together in one room with very little overdubs or comps." 

 

“Warm and full of heart, “Lean” feels like the kind of song that drifts through the air at a summer cookout, where the drinks are cold, and the company is good. Denver’s Bison Bone delivers a sound that blends country rock with a touch of classic Americana, beneath lyrics built on love, resilience, and devotion. There’s a Springsteen-like earnestness to it, a sense of hard-won joy.” – 303 Magazine

​

"Lead vocalist Courtney Whitehead has a warm rasp, humility, and humor that calls to mind Warren Zevon and fellow Coloradan Jon Snodgrass. The five songs on 40 Grit prove Bison Bone’s mettle as serious students of alt-country — and torchbearers for what’s to come." - Adobe and Teardrops

​

"Country music meets folky Americana with a twist of grit. Each song paints a clear picture with sentimentality and romanticism, making it the perfect Sunday-morning album to soothe the blues." - Denver Westword

Bison Bone have shared the stage with Son Volt, American Aquarium, Ben Nichols (Lucero), Susto, Goodnight, Texas, Buffalo Nichols, Dylan Leblanc, Israel Nash and many more.
