A band built around Erika Wennerstrom's voice and songs about restlessness and resilience.
For a quick sense of them, try 'How Low' from the early days and the title track 'A Beautiful Life' from the recent one. Both have that signature drive and directness.
Erika Wennerstrom's raw, powerful vocals have always been the center of the band's sound, whether on early tracks like 'How Low' or later ones like 'A Beautiful Life'. Their music often deals plainly with anxiety and searching, as on the 2015 album 'Restless Souls'. They've kept a steady, unflashy presence for two decades, putting out six albums and touring with a consistent core lineup.
They formed in Cincinnati in 2003 and released their debut 'Stairs and Elevators' in 2005. The 2010 album 'Arrow' brought wider attention, and they've continued with Wennerstrom, Jesse Ebaugh, and Mark Nathan through their most recent album, 2022's 'A Beautiful Life'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
