Description:

2024 release. Wayne Graham (the band) has long been at the forefront of the new movement of artists shaping the New Appalachian Sound - shaped by tradition, but intentionally set on forging a new sonic landscape. The new album, Bastion firmly establishes them as the architects of a new sound coming from the region. The songs on the album are treated like the complex feelings we feel, vague and cloaked in mystery, or sometimes blunt and pleading for change. Different instruments wash in and out like a stream of thoughts; some soothing, some disruptive. Year after year, our perspectives unravel into new version after new version, losing vital information with each update. The songs on this record speak to the forgetting. The name or phrase on the tip of our tongue that we can't say, because it's hiding in our mind behind a worry or distraction. "Because every song starts as a question, we attempt to avoid the urge to find an answer, and we ask more questions." When nothing is "100%" anything, then what is concrete enough to define fully? No definitions here, just ideas with no value outside of their real time impact on the thinker. No promise of understanding, and all you can do is sing.

"Bastion" is the latest CD release by Wayne Graham, a talented Americana duo known for their evocative songwriting and rich musical textures. Hailing from Kentucky, brothers Kenny and Hayden Miles have crafted a sound that blends folk, rock, country, and indie influences into something uniquely their own. With previous acclaimed albums like "Mexico" and "Songs Only A Mother Could Love," Wayne Graham has steadily built a loyal following in both the US and Europe. Their music often explores themes of family roots, personal growth, and rural life with poetic lyricism. The album "Bastion" continues this tradition with heartfelt storytelling set against lush arrangements. The CD is produced by Hickman Holler Records - Thirt, an independent label dedicated to supporting authentic voices in Americana and roots music. Known for its commitment to artistic integrity and high-quality releases, Hickman Holler Records has become synonymous with discovering emerging talents as well as nurturing established artists within the genre.
