Chamomile & Whiskey
Deep Roots Rock
“It starts out nice and civilized and then comes on nice and strong.” – Cowboys & Indians
October 30, 2020 – Nashville, TN – All it took was a bit of simple mixology to connect the dots for Marie Borgman and Koda Kerl, better known as the founders of deep-roots-rock outfit Chamomile and Whiskey. One evening Borgman and Kerl, native musicians of Nelson County, Virginia, combined chamomile tea with Evan Williams bourbon whiskey for an evening libation. Upon taste, the duo decided that the combo of chamomile and whiskey perfectly embodied the music they’d been creating—thus, Chamomile and Whiskey was born. Today, the band released their third LP, Red Clay Heart. Produced by Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo), Red Clay Heart has already earned a host of critical praises from the likes of American Songwriterwho said, “Overlaid in the current context of 2020, Chamomile and Whiskey delivers a careful balance between grim social commentary and uplifting old-time nostalgia,” and Cowboys & Indians who called album single “Dead Bird” a “knockout brew of a song that makes you feel like maybe you’ve been drinking some of that moonshine-y tea that gave the band its name…it starts out nice and civilized and then comes on nice and strong.”
