About Unspoken Tradition

Unspoken Tradition
Mountain Home Recording Artist Unspoken Tradition is about new, original Bluegrass. Inspired by their own influences and the roots of traditional and newgrass music, this North Carolina based quintet brings a sound that is both impassioned and nostalgic, hard-driving and sincere. Their 2020-21 singles have all charted in the Bluegrass Today top 20 including “California” #1 “Irons in the Fire” #2 and “Carolina and Tennessee” #4.
Their 2019 release from Mountain Home Music Company, Myths We Tell Our Young, debuted at #5 on the Billboard Bluegrass charts and has seen 5 top-charting radio singles, including a #1 spot on the Bluegrass Today chart for “Dark Side of the Mountain.”
Their material is mostly original and reflects the ever-changing culture of Western and Central North Carolina where they call home. The band has earned a fervent following in the Southeast, selling out shows in Asheville, NC as well as the legendary Station Inn in Nashville, TN. They have also performed twice on the coveted Watson (main stage) at MerleFest. With heavy airplay on Sirius XM’s Bluegrass Junction and ever-growing streaming numbers, Unspoken Tradition is a fast-rising voice of a new generation of roots music artists. Their debut recording, Simple Little Town (2013) saw quick success in radio and with tastemakers. Their follow-up release, Miles Between was featured on the nationally syndicated NPR show The World Cafe. Represented by Advance Artist Support, Unspoken Tradition plays nationwide.

What fans are saying
They are ABSOLUTELY one of the best bluegrass bands. Every one of them are so down to earth. We have seen them several times. Never disappointed

These guys are awesome, each individually are extremely talented musicians, blending together as a unit both in vocal harmonies and instruments. We are fortunate to see them in person anytime they have a show in Western Carolina. They are also really nice guys, always happy to take the time for a personal chat! I have no idea why this post is showing only 4 1/2 stars instead of the 5 I meant.

The band was amazing! So happy to finally see them live, as I have been streaming them so much this past year. the harmonies are perfection, the rhythms were infectious and they are all skilled masters on their instruments. They also have a great camaraderie with each other, making for a truly enjoyable show. I would love to see them again soon!
