The day I spoke to Them Coulee Boys<\/a>\u2019 Soren Staff was a momentous one in the band\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Shortly after our conversation, the Eau Claire-based folk rockers \u2014 who play the High Noon Saloon this Thursday, March 14<\/a> \u2014 officially signed to North Carolinian indie label LoHi Records. And Staff\u2019s cheerful reaction to the news was pretty on-brand for a bunch of twentysomething dudes from Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re literally meeting up, signing it, and going to get drunk,\u201d he jokes.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Staff is still a bit too young to conjure up the grizzled, pastoral landscapes that Americana craves. But Them Coulee Boys have an innate ability to take limited experience and mine it for underlying emotional beats. After all, it\u2019s not about what you\u2019ve seen or done but how you\u2019ve processed it that resonates.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to only pull from experience,\u201d Staff says of his lyrics. \u201cBut you just haven\u2019t lived that much\u2026 What I\u2019m pulling from now is kind of the depth of that emotion. Just because you haven\u2019t lived<\/em> a certain amount of time doesn\u2019t mean you haven\u2019t felt <\/em>a certain amount of things.\u201d<\/p>\n
