"Rustic, Rootsy, and Sunny - Side Dark"
The Scatterlings are a four-piece acoustic/Americana band based in Asheville, North Carolina. The members share a fondness for songs about heartbreak, whiskey, and killings, although they promise they are actually all very peaceable people. Many of their songs are steeped deep in local history.
The Scatterlings sound neither bluegrassy (though there are undeniable mountain influences at play) nor green. There are folk stylings, astute songwriting, textural instrumentation, and the palpable chemistry of players who are happy to have found each other.
For fans of: Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, Secret Sisters, and Natalie Merchant

The Scatterlings formed when vocalist and baritone ukulele player Elfy Kornfeld, guitarist Rick Russell, and upright bassist Terrell Jones met at The Berry Pickers, a weekly jam group in Fairview, North Carolina. Later, Elfy met mandolin player Josh Sill in the grocery store, because in Asheville you are as likely to find a bluegrass picker as a green smoothie at your local market.
