"Blending influences ranging from Woody Guthrie and the Grateful Dead to Kings of Leon and Ryan Adams, the band delivers a mix of acoustic folk, bluegrass, rock and blues with a visceral intensity to match their raucous live gigs." - John Schacht, Creative Loafing - Charlotte, NC A high energy ‘roots’ band who’ve roared from the foothills of Appalachia on to the east coast music scene on the wheels of a rugged tour schedule that has turned their fresh and distinct sound into a solid buzz on the street that is palpable and growing! Growing from seeds of the folk, blues, and bluegrass found abundant in the Carolinas, yet shaped by the undeniable power of rock and roll, The New Familiars combine an amazing passion for harmony with multi-instrumental talent and unusual storytelling abilities.

PRESS QUOTES ABOUT THE NEW FAMILIARS .. "A living breathing nod to the countryside of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones." -Yes Weekly "It’s Americana with a grand heartbeat." - Jeff Hahne - Creative Loafing - Charlotte, NC "The New Familiars play a fresh (if not breakthrough) blend of country blues, folk rock and gritty acoustic tunes. They’ve got honky-tonk elements of Dobro and harmonica; mountain touches of banjo and rough-hewn harmonies made for ‘70s-era Southern Rock." - Alli Marshall - Mountain Xpress - Asheville, NC "Music's fun when great musicians are clearly enjoying themselves. These guys are a good reminder of that." - Dan Costello, Urban Folk NYC $14 Advance / $16 Day of Show
