GOODBYEHOME

About Me


Goodbyehome performs live at The Basement in Nashville, TN from Jackson Combs on Vimeo . ..
Breathless, excitingly embryonic on stage, with a rare Folky wistfulness that makes your heart soar and drop simultaneously. Goodbyehome make the music that would accompany sad, fond memories of a road trip where, after driving for hours in the wilderness, you met a beautiful girl at a bar in the middle of nowhere, and spent your whole night with her, knowing you'd never see her again.
The band's songs range from upbeat pop to instrumentally lush melodramatic ballads, Goodbyehome unique lyrical approach to the angst and introspection common to modern rock, favors a storytelling approach. The band's songs convey tales ranging from whimsical "Bicycles" to epic "Impossible Light" to Psychedelic" Rain Dance" to the dark "Don't Break Down" while often invoking primal events and locations from the American Folk Tradition. The band continues to break through the chains of these comparisons to specific sounds by proving there vision to be true to itself through performance and versatility.
