Биография

Established in the Shenandoah Valley, Palmyra’s set explores the fusion of traditional folk string instruments, three part harmonies and innovative songwriting. The trio captures the collective spirit of three Virginia natives, Teddy (he/him), Manoa (he/him), and Sasha (they/them), often described as a distant cousin of the progressive folk band, Punch Brothers, mixed with elements of Oliver Wood or the Avett Brothers. Palmyra’s songs are intimate and contemplative, with arrangements that allow them to create the illusion of a full, larger-than-three ensemble. The trio's sound is a nod to Appalachia and Americana, apparent through their stirring craftsmanship and dedication to a folk-driven, innovative experience throughout each unique live performance. Palmyra has supported Watchhouse and Illiterate Light on the road and had the honor to play the historic Newport Folk Festival and Floydfest where they were named the “On The Rise” competition winner in ’22. They will be playing Red Wing Roots, Bristol Rhythm and Roots, Americanafest and returning to Newport in the summer of 2023. They are in the process of releasing new music and are getting in the studio this fall. Catch them live on the east coast!
