SadBlackLab is an alternative folk trio based in central Kentucky. The arrangement, an amalgam of guitarist/vocalist Greg McIntosh, violinist/vocalist Emily Miller, and bassist Ellis Waddell, has been described as being very “non-derivative”. The sound consists of rhythmic finger-style guitar, dark and melodic vocals, bold colors and fluid delivery from violin strings, and uniquely stylized upright bass. The trio is capable of blending seamlessly between moments of beautiful chaos and syncopated intensity, inviting the listener into the narrative sound space of SadBlackLab.
