Uwharria

pronounced: yoo-warr'-ee-uh, as in the Central Carolina bioregion



Members of Uwharria have played together in bands together for

15 years, but Uwharria started in 1999 as a group of environmental

activists who wanted to create a musical extension of that activism.

All songs are a glorification of nature- skunks, woodpeckers, sea

turtles, dung beetles, being devoured by a jaguar, etc. 8 days after

forming, the band had written 7 songs, played their first show, and

recorded a demo. The full-length "Fury in the Foothills" was recorded

in January 2002, and released on Slave Audio Documents the following

year. A 9 song live Uwharria CD came free with Slave Magazine 8 in

May 2003.We haven't played a show since 2004- or was it 2005? Don't count on one anytime soon. Drummer in Finland. Guitarist in California. Rest in different parts of North Carolina.

"Fury in the Foothills," our 13-song studio CD can be purchased for $6 here.
