"The most controversial post-folk band in recent history. Simply impossible to ignore."
-Bill Lions-The Gazette

Since the formation of The American Years, the band has become well-known for their impressive live shows. They are impressive not only for their outstanding musicianship, but also for their dynamic stage presence, their intimate rapport with the audience, and in their dedication to overall presentation.
The American Years are an energetic rock band based out of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Their sound blends such roots as rock, soul, folk, and pop. Audiences consistently find it impossible to not sing along with their originals and covers alike.
The American Years are available for live shows throughout the U.S. and abroad and can be reached via email at [email protected]. Their web presence is at theamericanyears.com.
