The Drought

The Drought is an alternative rock band from Salt Lake City that blends gritty rock, pop hooks, and a punk edge with an unexpected influence of jazz and classical choral training. Their sound is as emotionally raw as it is musically refined, balancing tightly arranged songs with the spirit of live improvisation. The band consists of Emmy’s emotive and beautifully skillful vocals at the center, supported by Griffin’s intricate and catchy guitar work that showcase his creativity, Paulo’s tasteful, percussive bass lines, and Jackson’s unique, inventive drumming. Together, they craft songs that incorporate themes of grief, passion, sincerity, and confusion resulting in a sound that’s both genre-bending and emotionally gripping.
