The New Familiars

For Years now, North Carolina's The New Familiars have been touring & playing their own style of American Rock & Roll wherever and whenever they can. Drawing from the vast influences that they've collected throughout their collective careers, this quartet has shaped a sound that combines the nitty-gritty roots music of the Appalachia with guitar-drenched-drum-driven anthems of Rock & Roll. Through collective songwriting, howling harmonies, & multi-instrumental talent, their show can take you from a back porch hoe-down to a full on rock show at the change of an instrument.
Having played hundreds of shows from the sunny beaches of FL to the bustling cities of MA and from the Smokies to the Rockies, these gentlemen have seen some miles and have some stories. On an almost constant state of tour, they have managed to release a few EPs, a VINYL single, and are currently on tour with thier NEW LIVE ALBUM; all the while continuing work on a full length album. Look for them to be playing somewhere near you soon



"A living breathing nod to the countryside of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones."-Yes Weekly
"It's Americana with a grand heartbeat."- Jeff Hahne - Creative Loafing - Charlotte, NC
"The New Familiars play a fresh (if not breakthrough) blend of country blues, folk rock and gritty acoustic tunes. They've got honky-tonk elements of Dobro and harmonica; mountain touches of banjo and rough-hewn harmonies made for '70s-era Southern Rock."- Alli Marshall - Mountain Xpress - Asheville, NC
"Music's fun when great musicians are clearly enjoying themselves. These guys are a good reminder of that."- Dan
Costello, Urban Folk NYC
"Sounds like what you've
needed to say"- Charla Duncan, Greensboro News and Record
"Blending influences ranging from Woody Guthrie and the Grateful Dead to Kings of Leon and Ryan Adams, the Charlotte band delivers a mix of acoustic folk, bluegrass, rock and blues with a visceral intensity to match their raucous live gigs."- John Schacht reviewing The Storm EP for Creative Loafing - Charlotte, NC
