Mount Moriah is an American band that hails from North Carolina, blending the raw edges of folk with the warmer embraces of country-rock and Americana. Fronted by the striking vocals of Heather McEntire, whose voice carries both the lilt of Southern tradition and the ferocity of modern introspection, the band came to widespread acclaim in the 2010s. Accompanied by guitarist Jenks Miller and bassist Casey Toll, Mount Moriah crafts stories of personal struggle, introspection, and the landscape of the American South through lyrics that challenge traditional narrative forms.
Their self-titled debut album, "Mount Moriah," released in 2011, laid a sturdy foundation with its balance of tenderness and strength. It was followed by the fortifying "Miracle Temple" in 2013, which exhibited a marked growth in their sound, embedding more layers of rock and gospel into their country roots. The "Calvander EP" from 2015 offered a brief yet resolute look into their evolving dynamics, serving as a precursor to their third full-length album, "How to Dance," in 2016. With "How to Dance," Mount Moriah beckoned listeners into an expansive, intimate dance floor, upon which themes of survival and liberation twirled with the grace and grit that have come to define their music. Each of these releases has seen the band refine their craft, garnering critical praise for their poetic bravado and evocative storytelling, coupled with the ability to relay complex emotions through spellbinding melodies and plangent guitar work.
