The Bohannons (although often called the Brohannons by their pals) inhabit a musical universe that, while certainly drawing influence from all over, is firmly rooted in their Tennessee home. With Unaka Rising, they are clearly taking their homegrown, handcrafted rock to a new level, and we think they’ve set the bar pretty damn high with this one.
The album’s title references the Unaka province of East Tennessee and western North Carolina — “One of the finest areas in all the world,” insists singer/guitarist Marty Bohannon. The region has certainly fueled the Bohannon’s fire, providing endless stories and situations from which these songs draw.
With a quiver of new material ready to follow up 2011’s stellar Days of Echo EP, the Bohannons spent the better part of the last year tearing up the road between Chattanooga and Athens, GA where they recorded Unaka Rising at Chase Park Transduction, first with David Barbe and later Drew Vandenberg.
