Youth in a Roman Field

Youth in a Roman Field is a surrealist folk band (‘Appalachia, cayenne pepper, and ghosts’ and 'like Radiohead but also folk music') fronted by Claire Wellin and bolstered by collaborators Scott Stangland, Tiffany Topol, Jamie Mohamdein, and Cassidy Stirtz. Their original, progressive sound is reflected both in their inventive recordings and intimate, endearing live performances. With sweeping, powerful vocals and dynamic, woven string loops at the forefront, they have you enthralled in stillness one minute and dancing the next. Their unique ability to transform their training in traditional folk, jazz, and classical music has seen the band successfully garner fans from all over through their prior records ‘Of Grit and Grace,’ ‘Suits for Children,’ and ‘Storm Conductor.’ The new album ‘Get Caught Trying,’ released on Better Company Records, explores self-care, worth, power, loss of faith, and collective healing.
