Palmyra

Palmyra live at Eddie's Attic! Established in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, Palmyra captures the collective spirit of three Virginia natives: Teddy Chipouras, Manoa Bell, and Sasha Landon. Palmyra straddles at least two musical worlds. They are, on one hand, a band from the South that plays traditional instruments and once lived in the old-time locus of Floyd, Virginia. Comparisons to and a kinship with The Avett Brothers and Old Crow Medicine Show are inevitable. On the other hand, Palmyra writes about grief, gender dysphoria and identity, and coming of age in songs that flirt with soul, post-rock, and even emo. The South, too, is the place of My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, Cat Power, and now, Palmyra. The band's first full length LP, Restless, is out now on Oh Boy Records. Framed by moments of struggle, solidarity, and hard-won growth, Restless is an unqualified ringer for anyone who loves the space where the roar of indie rock collides with raw folk.
