Dead Winter Carpenters, Folkinception

For a band from North Lake Tahoe, Calif., Dead Winter Carpenters have played in this neck of the woods more than you might expect, including last year’s Pig Out in the Park. Next week, the crew stops in Moscow for two nights before heading to Mootsy’s. It’s more than OK that the five-piece wants to perform here. They’re just pure entertainment — especially when fiddle player Jenni Charles warps into full beast mode, nearly sawing her strings in two with her fiery bow work. Add a hard-hitting upright bass, drums and a pair of guitars, and you’ve got a ramblin’ Americana act that’lll make you wish the evening never had to end.
