THE RESONANT ROGUES
Dark Appalachian Folk • $10 COVER AT DOOR
The Resonant Rogues‘ dark Appalachian folk music paints a picture of their lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina and on the road.
Anchored by the songwriting duo of Sparrow (banjo, accordion) and Keith Josiah Smith (guitar), the Rogues have traveled the byways and highways of America and crossed the oceans with instruments in tow.
Sparrow and Keith share a passion for movement and sound. Both traveled extensively throughout the U.S. — Keith by hopping freight trains, Sparrow with a circus troupe. When the two met by chance in Asheville over 10 years ago, they combined their talents, and The Resonant Rogues were born. While the band has explored musical styles from across genres and around the globe, current influences for The Resonant Rogues are classic country, Appalachian old-time & vintage soul.
From riding freight trains to building their own homestead, the pair are no strangers to blazing unconventional trails. At once rooted and adventurous, each of their songs tells a story of real experiences, friendships, and challenges.
