Tune in for a talk with River Whyless from Asheville, North Carolina. The band explains how their Southeast mountain homeland has seeped into their sound, from its forests and rivers to the immersive outdoor-enthusiast culture. Hear stories about their favorite public lands (including Halli’s midnight mountaintop excursions!) and the places they never get sick of. The band’s latest album, Kindness, a Rebel, seeks to address recent social and political tensions in a way that is genuine, aware, and reflective. Learn about the messages behind their music and more in this episode of Songscapes!
