The Missoula Floods
The Missoula Floods, formerly known as tpra, is the solo project of Sierra Fournier. Sierra was born in Loveland, Colorado and finds it hard to depart from Longs Peak and all its accompanying mountains. Sierra also contributes to the band Satellite Pilot. The Missoula Floods writes songs in secret and self records music using their harp, acoustic guitar, piano, banjo, cello, voice and various effects. You may spot them singing on mountain roads or curled up with a guitar in their bedroom praying no one will hear. They have half of a harp performance degree and play with some classical sensibilities, but their goal is to push the boundaries of musical expectations with pretty dissonance. Inspired by the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Joanna Newsom, they hope to create vivid scenes of love and nature through their lyrics. Their debut album All My Years to You was conceived on a 29th street balcony and released June 22 2023.
