The Resonant Rogues

The Resonant Rogues are an Asheville, North Carolina-based duo (later expanded to a full band) blending folk, swing, and Americana with a foot-stomping vintage vibe. Founded around 2015 by partners Keith J. Smith (accordion, guitar, vocals) and Sparrow (banjo, fiddle, vocals), their music weaves storytelling with smoky jazz undertones and campfire-ready folk energy. Known for their nomadic spirit, they’ve toured extensively (even living in a school bus early on), earning a reputation for joyous live shows that feel like a communal dance party. Their discography, including albums like *Hands in the Dirt* and *Here and Gone Again*, reflects their eclectic roots—think Django Reinhardt meets Appalachian porch jams, with lyrical nods to social justice and wanderlust. They’ve also appeared on collaborative projects like *The Magnolia Sessions*, showcasing their stripped-down authenticity.
