Yarn:

Since their start in 2007, Yarn’s original Americana sound has developed into music that seekers of the unique see as the soundtrack to their lives. Yarn’s albums were recognized by the AMA’s and R&R radio charts, spending time in the top 5 at their highest point. Yarn has become one of the hardest-working and harder-touring bands for this generation’s digital natives and new music folllowers.

2013 brings this grammy-nominated roots band into the music revolution, inspired by today’s music devotee’s hunger for artists to believe in and follow, they are giving it to the fans everyday in everyway possible. Yarn’s devotion to their fans is realized in online and social sharing of their music, whether it’s daily video posts, premiering fresh songs on local radio, or performing live in small town venues across the country. They are bringing songs to American music lovers, and the music lovers are responding.

Yarn’s devoted followers, affectionately called the “Yarmy”, answered the band’s request for aid when they funded their new record through Kickstarter. Raising in excess of $5000 of the $15,000 needed, the “Yarmy” proved their allegiance to Yarn and their music being heard in 2012.

The fans have spoken, and on Sept 10th, Yarn released their new album, Shine the Light On, that featured tracks co-written with John Oates of Hall and Oates fame. “I really wanted to make another acoustic record, focus on the songs and revisit the early days of Yarn,” says lead singer Blake Christiana. “Some of the best songs we’ve written live on this record. It’s a pretty dark collection, but we are confident you can find the light shining through.”

They were recently featured on CNN’s Out Front, CMT’s series “Concrete Country” and CMT Pure, Zuus Country’s Americana takeover, Roughstock.com and were featured as Rolling Stone’s “Download of the Day”.

Carolina Wray:

The Wray Brothers are ready to be re introduced with a fresh, energetic and finely crafted sound that is truly their own. Combining old school influences with modern sensibility, not to mention a pure love of the American South, Carolina Wray attemps to blur the lines between indie and mainstream music even further through honest, believable lyrics and authentic, catchy melodies.

Jantzen, while predominantly playing banjo, also makes other appearances on a number of instruments including harmonica and acoustic guitar. While Jantzen takes the helm as frontman, Dillon mainly handles the acoustic and electric guitars and adds his higher range to complete the dynamic vocal mix that is Carolina Wray.
