New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nobody—not even the most talented out there—ever said that it's easy to get a career rolling in Music City. However, The Carmonas have managed to stake their claim in the legendary town, having wowed local crowds at the famed Bluebird Café as well as shows across the country. Their self-titled debut full-length will be out July 29, showcasing the storied sounds of the band's current hometown of Nashville, as well as the many places they lived as children.
"It's a true blend of American music," the two brothers (Aaron and Chad) and sister (Alison) explain, "most of what is heard is directly inspired from the places we've lived and loved and lost in our lives: The Southern, Appalachian roots of North Carolina to the seemingly endless fertile valleys of Central California."
The new LP offers up some unique experimental ideas that the band flirted with on their last EP. "Subtly using electric instruments and more percussion compared to our previous work has opened up the aural spectrum of our band's sound while staying rooted in the ground," they note. The result is a curated collection of fresh-sounding songs, without question.
Comparisons to the Avett Brothers and Mumford And Sons are inevitable, but we want to step back in time and add another name to that list. The Dillards had that sort of musical telepathy that only siblings can share, and The Carmonas have it, too. "The Carmonas" is this family's most excellent debut! - Don and Sheryl's Blues Blog.
