Laden Valley

Laden Valley is an indie-folk band based in Newport, RI, fronted by Evan St. Martin and Dave Sarazen. Their music oscillates between stripped-down acoustic ballads and winding psychedelic improvisations, drawing inspiration from the diverse sonic palette of the 1970s. The band focuses on tight vocal harmonies and honest songwriting, exploring themes such as the passage of time, the excesses of modern life, and the journey towards redemption. With a sound that pays homage to the past while maintaining a contemporary edge, Laden Valley has been making waves in the indie-folk scene.

Their recent releases include songs like "Leaving California," "Angeline," and "The Sky's on Fire," showcasing their ability to craft both introspective and expansive musical landscapes.
