There is something warm and instantly familiar about roots duo Chatham Rabbits. Partners in music and life, Austin and Sarah McCombie blend their personal histories through deft songwriting and a history that comes from building a life together. They are passionate about bringing new songs into the world, making sure you leave their concerts feeling better than when you arrived, cultivating community, their home in North Carolina, and also, drinking Cookout milkshakes, reading David Sedaris, fly fishing, riding horses, hunting arrowheads and having deep convos.
The duo has released three albums: All I Want from You (2019), The Yoke is Easy, The Burden is Full (2020), If You See Me Riding By (2022) that nod to the old-time roots of their college string band pastime, but with their new release, Be Real with Me (2025), they have grown up.
Steeped in the regional traditions of their North Carolina home, Chatham Rabbits’ musical pursuits represent a new age of roots music. “We’ve never been a bluegrass band, but being from North Carolina we cannot ignore the regional influences all around us. We sampled organic tones and manipulated them into synth pads and percussive elements on this record," Austin says. "It feels like a natural progression because the foundational components of our music are still there, we’ve just added to it."

Holler Choir blends a distinctly Appalachian indie-pop sound with haunting harmonies, stirring string arrangements, and heart-wrenching ballads. The band is led by Asheville-based multi-instrumentalists and award-winning songwriters Clint Roberts and Jackson Grimm with a rotating cast of gifted mountain musicians. Holler Choir’s newest project, Susto Stringband, reinterprets the indie-rock Americana songwriting of Susto’s Justin Osborne through an old-time and bluegrass lens.
