You can expect smooth vocals, intricate guitar solos, and a band that's expressive and rhythmically locked. Our lyrics are introspective and thoughtful, and our music is physically affecting. Our covers can also get pretty upbeat and funky. We know how to jam.
Michael Barrow (Vocals, Guitar), Mac Wright (Electric Guitar), Alessandro Improta (Bass), Reed Perkins (Drums), and Zach Collier (Keys) got together in the spring of 2016 in Provo, UT. Rallying around the expressive lyrics and rich vocals of Barrow, they began to inject John Mayer esque guitar lines and warm textures into Barrow's brand of narrative folk.
The band has developed a reputation for their solid live performance and expansive dynamic range, selling out local venues and opening for acts like Ben Rector, The National Parks, Savannah Sgro, Dylan Dunlap, Sub Radio, and The Backseat Lovers. Their debut album, Juneau was mixed and mastered by Chicago native Brian Zieske, who produced the breakthrough records for both The Hush Sound and The Academy Is... in the early 2000's.
Juneau received praise from Indie Music outlets, particularly for the breakout single "Sing Me Something New." Music Existence called the album "an indie music lover's dream," and SLUG Magazine praised its "melodic beauty and narrative complexity."
Since that time, they've released their sophomore album, "Clover." Their music has been streamed over 5 million times on Spotify alone. They completed a successful tour of the eastern United States in 2022.
