Opal Agafia & the Sweet Nothings is an Americana band whose soulful blend of roots music draws from a rich palette of folk, bluegrass, gospel, and rock and roll influences. Hailing from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, the group is the creative brainchild of singer-songwriter Opal Agafia, whose voice—often described as a heartwrenching mixture of raw emotion and poignant storytelling—is the centerpiece around which the Sweet Nothings' sound revolves. Formed in the mid-2010s, their music meshes the traditional with the contemporary, resulting in a timeless sound that resonates with audiences across generations.

The ensemble's latest works, including the evocative "Live in Fayetteville, Arkansas," capture the raucous energy and intimacy of their live performances, highlighting their ability to connect with a crowd. The 2020 album "Share What You Own" expands on their signature sound, showcasing their collective growth as musicians and storytellers. With "One Down, Forever to Go," released in 2021, Opal Agafia & the Sweet Nothings further solidify their place in the Americana landscape, delivering a collection of songs that speak to the human experience with honesty, wit, and a down-home charm that is as refreshing as it is endearing.
