Tellico – CD Release Party

Tellico is a recent product of Asheville NC’s thriving roots music scene, its members well schooled in bluegrass but with an unbridled organic Appalachiacana sound. This new band as of 2014 features the singing and songwriting of Anya Hinkle (guitar, fiddle, vocals) and Stig Stiglets (bass, vocals), formerly of Dehlia Low, with Aaron Ballance (also formerly of Dehlia Low) on dobro and Jed Willis (formerly of Town Mountain, Wooden Toothe) on mandolin and clawhammer banjo. Well known for  their rootsy, authentic singing and vocal harmony, as well as in the hard-edge nostalgic yet modern themes of their songwriting, the quartet combines some of the finest voices, songs and instrumental prowess in western North Carolina and beyond.
