"Original American Music"

About Me

With members originally hailing from all over the United States, this North Carolina-based band draws from diverse backgrounds and experiences to create a sound that is truly American. Singer / songwriter Brad Heller brings his Southwestern roots to the forefront with politically and socially-driven songs about life, love, injustice, and the state-of-things. Travis Price's gritty and bluesy guitar work, and high-lonesome harmonies add a distinct texture and sophisticated humbleness to the mix. And add the string work of Jamie Coan with the simple, yet steadfast rhythm section of Rusty Wood and Ron Pifer, and you have a sound that is as indefinable as it is intriguing.
