**Favorite Hippies** are an indie folk duo from the Pacific Northwest, blending warm harmonies and laid-back acoustic vibes that feel like a cozy campfire singalong. Formed by longtime friends Jake Collins and Emma Rhodes, the pair met at a Portland open mic in 2015 and quickly bonded over their shared love of retro storytelling and rambling Americana. Their music, like the wistful "In the Backseat of a Beat Up Ford Back in Nineteen Seventy Eight" or the twangy "Pick and Strum," often paints vivid nostalgia for simpler times, road trips, and bittersweet relationships. Since dropping their debut EP *Wander Years* in 2017, they’ve become known for DIY tours in their famously quirky vintage VW bus and a grassroots fanbase that thrives on their raw, heartfelt live shows. With 2023’s *Sidekick Stories* and other recent releases, Favorite Hippies keep perfecting their brand of earthy, lyric-driven folk while staying true to their free-spirited, community-focused ethos.
