If ever you’ve wondered what bands are worth a 45-minute drive from downtown for a show, The Loyal Sinners should make it on the short list. Playing at Grahams Restaurant, 9989 Mount Baker Highway, on Saturday, the band is worth the drive.

Its combined guitar work, supporting percussion, and mesmerizing vocals pull you in easily. So exactly who is The Loyal Sinners? Scott Greene provides guitar and vocals, Terry Justin works his bass guitar, and drummer Phil Carter keeps it all together.

With their EP “Love, Sex, Nature” newly released, the Bellingham-based trio is preparing to tour nationwide and across Europe. All three have played in other bands, but they found their niche playing together. Their influences range from The Who to Bob Marley to Tool, but their sound is harder to pin down. What’s conveyed is a sense of being intimately close to the audience, with an almost sultry energy.

Yes, it’s a drive to see them in Glacier. Yes, there’s a $5 cover. But the combination of their musical talent and the good food and atmosphere at Grahams is worth it. Saturday’s show is 21-and-over.You can check them out at www.myspace.com/theloyalsinners.
