Though their writing has been described as “masterly” (Oregon Music News) and “earthy and approachable” (Bitch), these are not songs charging towards the mainstream on waves of electromagnetic radiation. This is not a band spraying buckshot for new fans. Moody Little Sister has built a loyal community around their music the old-old-old fashioned way: one listening room, house concert, front porch, and campfire at a time. Having called Alaska, Oregon, and New Mexico “home” over the past 7 years, their music contains an expansive landscape.

Along with a big fluffy dog named Triton, this is the same ground they’ve covered time and time again in their trusty van. It’s been a near-constant life on the road between Anchorage and Albuquerque. This shows in their effortless harmonies and the way every moment of a performance feels both confident and vulnerable.
