    Americana


    Every true traveler is always in search of the best kept secret. Folk trio Flyover States has it tucked in the three-part rise and fall of their atmospheric harmony, their hindsight wisdom lyrics, and the dynamic pulse of tradition alive in their melodies. With tonal precision and undeniable warmth, their songs might summon the welcome glow of a cozy pub tucked away off a cobblestone road or inspire a gentle soundtrack for a long walk in the woods. Wherever you wander, Flyover States will most certainly be a soft place you’ll never be sorry to land.

    The band has released three full length albums during their time as a trio. Octaves, the group's first album, was released in 2019 with sophomore album 'Artifacts' released two years later in 2021. Earlier this year, the band completed their third album, "True North". While still focusing on the group's complex vocal arrangements and signature harmonies, True North explores the changes the band has experienced over the last several years including marriage, a journey into parenthood, and confronting past trauma. 
  • Story & Tune

    Alternative Country

    Aussie singer-songwriter Ben Grace and Californian poet Karyn Thurston met for the first time weeks after they first said I love you, a blush-worthy whirlwind love story that landed them in a creative partnership writing a torrent of original songs. Story & Tune is the marriage of her words and his melodies (though they’ve been known to switch roles from time to time.) Driven by folk-americana’s long history of lyrical storytelling, the harmony-driven duo’s songs are a unique blend of heart, ache, and laughter, all grounded in the unwavering belief that belonging is an essential human right.

    Story & Tune are a blend of Woody Guthrie’s commitment to a better world with the rise and fall drama of a ballad by The Civil Wars. They’re the story you tell about an evening in Over the Rhine’s barn where too much whiskey leads to a flirty, irreverent guest appearance by Johnny & June. Whether they are sharing unforgettable modern folk originals about ghosts, good boundaries, and hard goodbyes, or leading a bar sing-along of your favorite cover tunes, you won’t leave a Story & Tune show without feeling a little seen, a little celebrated, and a little more hopeful than you did before you came.
