Mountain Man is an American folk trio famously known for their ethereal vocal harmonies and sparse, evocative instrumentation. The group consists of Amelia Meath, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, and Molly Sarlé. They emerged on the indie folk scene with their debut album, "Made the Harbor," in 2010. Enchanting audiences with their blends of Appalachian folk, traditional music, and minimalist aesthetics, Mountain Man quickly distinguished themselves within the folk genre.

After a hiatus that allowed for the members to pursue individual projects—Amelia Meath notably as one half of the electronic duo Sylvan Esso—the trio reunited to much acclaim with their second full-length album, "Magic Ship," in 2018. In addition to their studio albums, they have created a niche for themselves with a series of cover tracks that showcase their ability to reinterpret and breathe new life into classic songs across various genres. The series includes their unique spin on works by Fiona Apple, Neil Young, Kacey Musgraves, and John Denver, among others. Mountain Man's work is characterized by a deep reverence for musical storytelling and a pure, stripped-back sound that highlights the intimate power of the human voice.
