The Onlies

The Onlies are a vibrant, up-and-coming folk trio hailing from Seattle, Washington, celebrated for their fresh and energetic approach to traditional American and Celtic folk music. Comprised of fiddler Riley Calcagno, violinist Sami Braman, and guitarist Leo Shannon, the group showcases a profound chemistry and exceptional musicianship that belies their youthful years. Bonded through a shared passion for the revitalization of folk sounds, The Onlies' music is imbued with a deep understanding of the genre's heritage coupled with a desire to bring a contemporary flair to time-honored melodies and narratives.

With a discography that resonates with both purists and modern folk enthusiasts, The Onlies have steadily built a reputation for their dynamic arrangements and soulful harmonies. Their self-titled album "The Onlies" demonstrates their prowess in creating a body of work that is at once traditional and innovative, featuring a mix of both originals and energized interpretations of folk classics. Follow-up releases like "A Few More Years Shall Roll" and "Diamond Joe" further showcase their adept ability to tell stories through music, drawing listeners into a world of rich acoustic soundscapes. The album "Long Before Light" serves as a prime example of their skill in blending the old with the new, cementing their status as torchbearers of the folk tradition in the modern music scene.
