Lonely Mountain

Lonely Mountain are Archie and Finlay Johnson, a duo of brothers from the mountains of North Wales. Through writing, recording, producing and marketing their own material from the beginning, the brothers have honed their skills and created a large repertoire of multi-faceted folk music with influence from a lot of different genres. Their single “Whale Song”, a traditional folk song with modern energy and rich harmonies, has gained significant traction on Spotify and is quickly rocketing the band to greater heights. With an album in the works and plenty of releases to come in the next few months, the brother’s future is looking bright and exciting.

Lonely Mountain are known for combining driving tenor banjo and guitar parts and impassioned harmonies with cinematic and atmospheric lyrics that evoke nostalgia, longing and a sense of pride in the mountains and sea that they have grown up around. They mainly derive inspiration from British, Irish and American traditional folk music like Colter Wall, Amble and Kate Rusby, as well as modern indie artists like Bon Iver, The Lumineers, Ben Howard and Mumford and Sons.
