Boca Chica is an orchestral twang pop band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Led by songwriter Hallie Pritts, their songs are dark, catchy, and combine somewhat surreal lyrics and instrumentation with bar band appeal. Drawing influences from classic country stars like Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton, Boca Chica filters those twangy tendencies through a modern indie pop lens. Fans of Neko Case, Great Lake Swimmers, Arcade Fire, and Akron/Family will be enthralled by the band’s lyrically dark and musically adventurous folk rock. Boca Chica pushes the boundaries of what it means to be a “band”, having had more than 40 different members since their inception. Boca Chica currently includes:
Hallie Pritts, Susanna Meyer, J.Vega, Ricky Moslen, James Hart, and Kraig Decker with Ross Rader and Cello Fury also appearing on the new album.
