River Whyless

Lincoln Center’s sophomore season of Songwriter/Storyteller champions innovators of the singer-songwriter genre, celebrating the craft and artistry central to their work. Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, River Whyless’s music sits between folk, indie, and something harder to define. The group's recent NPR Tiny Desk and their showcase appearances at The Newport Folk Festival and Bonnaroo have earned them an avid audience drawn to their reputation for thoughtful songwriting, surprising arrangements, and lush harmonies. The band's most recent album, Monoflora, is a conversation between River Whyless's four distinct voices, charting a winding collective pathway between tradition and experimentation, between the familiar and the unexpected.
