The Neighborly

The Neighborly is an Americana Folk-Pop duo hailing from the iconic rolling farmland and small towns of Central Pennsylvania. Both having an extensive background in songwriting and performance, Arissa May and Brock Lawley found themselves neighbors on a quiet, suburban block and were surprised to discover a unique blend of their voices and a musical chemistry that developed almost immediately. The Neighborly was officially formed in June 2017 and the name was an easy pick, reflecting their geographical relationship to one another, their desire to build up their community and to describe the wonderful people that surround and support them. In the vein of pop-folk artists like The Civil Wars, Over the Rhine and JohnnySwim, their bedrock of acoustic guitar overlaid with intricate and playful harmonies, touch on themes such as family, community, love and faith flavored with the many styles of music found in the Americana genre as well as a battery creatively blended mashups of popular songs. Their mission is use their music to connect, encourage and build and strengthen families and their local community as well as their broader global community of fans.
