Sturtz

NPR’s All Songs Considered described the band as “a reassuring breath of fresh air that pulls me back to simpler times." The quartet – Andrew Sturtz [vocals, guitar], Courtlyn Carpenter [cello, harmonies], Will Kuepper [bass, piano, harmonies], and Jim Herlihy [banjo, electric guitar, harmonies] - is serene and folksy, with melodic vocals soaring over the lower string instrumentals. Sturtz released their second studio album, Hyacinth, on September 29th, 2024, and now they're hard at work writing songs for their third album. When they’re not playing music, you’ll probably find them milling flour, farming, laying in a creek, or eating native foliage.
