Roam Like Ghosts have been together since 2017, specializing in a unique blend of alternative acoustic rock, indie acoustic rock, Americana, alternative country, and touches of folk and emo.
Our live sets feature acoustic versions of both our original songs and select covers, tailored to fit the energy of your event. While our recordings showcase full-band arrangements, we focus on delivering an engaging and professional acoustic experience during live performances. We’re well-equipped with professional gear, including our own PA system if needed, and are comfortable performing 2–3-hour sets or sharing the stage with other acts.

A powerful performance set with emotion and great songs.
Roam Like Ghosts first single, “Smile”, which webzine, Indie Rock Café said, “’Smile’, is a single waiting in the wings thanks to its beautifully layered harmonies and musical instruments creating magnificent melodies", and listed their debut album, “Yesterday and the Day Before”, one of the “2018 Indie Albums You Should Hear”. “Smile” and the rest of Roam Like Ghosts debut album can be streamed on all digital platforms such as, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play, Amazon Music and more.
Roam Like Ghosts is an original acoustic duo of Mathew Daugherty on vocals and Bucky Fairfax on guitars. The group blends styles across various genres from rock to folk for an alternative sound that is a fall back to post grunge acoustic ballads with progressive swampy flair.
The virtual duo based in Reston, VA and Cary, NC respectively, rejoins twenty years after their former band SEDAH, based in Richmond, VA, ended. Although Daugherty and Fairfax continued separately with other bands, notably for Daugherty - Drivelink, 3STARKARMA and notably for Fairfax - Radio Silent Auction, and Something for Now, collaborations occurred over the years for a handful of songs. In 2017, a new sound and writing style with more subtle intensity and reflection emerged between the duo. Delicate guitar playing and restraint coupled with vocal strength, ghostly melodies, and sober thoughtfulness forms songs of love and loss, life and death, hope and fear.
With their debut album Yesterday and the Day Before, Roam Like Ghosts returns to provide a musical fusion and softer side of their formative rebellious years with reminiscence, simplicity, and refinement.
Currently, we are just a vocalist and a guitarist (and sometimes a fill-in bassist), therefore we'd need a PA to plug into, 2-3 microphones w/ stands, decent stage lighting.
