About Me

4-piece folk rock/alt country group hailing from and strongly influenced by the mountains of North Carolina. The group produces honest Alt. Country music with character and originality, while maintaining a certain sense of familiarity and comfort. Like the first day of autumn in your favorite old sweater. The band's sound is essentially very natural and pure; almost scenic or even vivid but with such a wide range of influences surprises are nearly guaranteed.

"Fans of alternative bluegrass, indie rock, and alternative country are sure to enjoy the sound frequencies that come from the instruments and voices of this impressive young band."
-Jonathan Benton, Western Carolinian News Magazine
