The group's name is American Roots and that pretty much describes their music. American Roots is a father and son guitar and harmony vocal duo that sometimes throws in other instrumentalist for added flavor on occasion. The group combines Appalachian traditional music, early country, blues, jazz, sing and "folkgrass".

This melodic rocker loves a good turn of phrase almost as much as he loves an infectious hook. A recent transplant to Nashville from Atlanta, Rathbone still works in the occasional Cheap Trick-style rave-up, but these days he concentrating on a more textured, bittersweet romanticism, reminiscent of Ben Gibbard and Alejandro Escovedo. more

With their shimmering harmonies, gently propulsive acoustic instrumentation, and disarmingly honest songwriting, the Farewell Drifters have arrived at an engaging, inventive musical hybrid all their own – pure, but not so simple; accessible and welcoming, yet highly personal. Since first setting out over four years ago, the young quintet have casually but clearly defied any preconceptions based on their lineup (two acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass), delighting audiences from all walks with a sound that suspends classic elements in fresh new surroundings. more
