Biography

Six Mile Grove was founded in 1997 in Lyle, Minnesota (population 566) by brothers Brandon and Brian Sampson, Barry Nelson and Dezi Wallace. Their first rehearsals were held in the Sampsons' grandmother's farm home. The group is known for an Americana/alt-country/roots rock sound.

In 2004 they began a collaboration with Johnny Cash guitarist Bob Wootton. In a 2011 interview, Wootton stated, "There's nothing fancy about them and they don't try to be something they're not. And that's what I like about them."

In 2012 Six Mile Grove released their sixth studio album, Secret Life in a Quiet Town.
