River Whyless is coming to Deep Roots! Introducing our first artists coming to LEAF’s Deep Roots event on May 30th at Pisgah Brewing, our one day family festival with live music, global arts, family fun, workshops, healing arts, vendors and all things LEAF! Connect with your LEAF community and get your tickets TODAY!

River Whyless sits somewhere between folk, indie and something harder to define. Known for their festival appearances (Newport Folk, Bonnaroo) and for their performances on platforms like NPR’s Tiny Desk, their sound has earned them a reputation for thoughtful songwriting and surprising arrangements. Their latest album, Monoflora, feels like a conversation—between four distinct voices, between tradition and experimentation, and between the familiar and the unexpected. A return to their roots as well as a leap forward, the album blends lush harmonies with a raw, unfiltered energy.

Music is an essential part of life for River Whyless, from creating memories with friends and family, to finding the perfect reverb in the hallway

New Shaped by Sound episodes premiere Thursdays on PBS NC and the free PBS app!

Made possible through support from Come Hear NC, a program of the N.C. Arts Council within the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

#ShapedBySound

Catch us on PBS NC when it airs tomorrow at 10:30pm or watch it after at the link in our profile. Here’s a piece of “Michigan Cherry” filmed behind the scenes while we were warming up in the hallway.

Asheville band River Whyless, which blends folk, experimentation and rich storytelling, explores their decade-long journey through harmony, creativity and evolution. Their music bridges tradition and innovation, weaving a sound that is deeply rooted yet endlessly inventive.

Just sharing a nice moment today.

Military madness
Is killing the country
Solitary sadness
Comes over me

And after the war is over
And the body count is finally filed
I hope that the man discovers
What’s driving the people wild

Military madness
Is killing my country
So much sadness
Between you and me

-an adapted piece of “Military Madness” by Graham Nash @officialgrahamnash #☮︎
