About the Artist

Houndmouth is an American alternative blues band from New Albany, Indiana, known for their rich blend of roots, rock, and alternative country vibes. Formed in 2011, their music channels a nostalgic Americana spirit with modern storytelling, capturing wild and fleeting moments with warm, unhurried melodies. Their live performances offer a mix of energetic storytelling and soulful harmonies, often rooted in real characters and places that evoke a dreamlike resonance. Their breakthrough came with the platinum-selling song "Sedona," a staple loved by fans for its evocative lyricism and catchy roots-rock sound. The band recorded much of their acclaimed album "Good For You" in a 19th-century shotgun-style house, adding a layer of intimacy and authenticity to their work, and often reflect on their early days with a blend of fondness and clever self-awareness. Their shows balance raw, heartfelt storytelling with moments of playful, unhinged energy, such as the crowd-pleasing communal screams captured on the track "Las Vegas." They straddle the line between nostalgic Americana and modern indie, delivering performances that feel both familiar and fresh, resonating deeply with audiences who appreciate intricate melodies and reflective lyrics.
