Distance Walk is a Denver-based indie folk quartet. Their self-titled debut EP is out now on Recessive Goth Records. Their sound is equal parts folk, post punk, old time, and baroque. When asked to describe their sound, the band (half) jokingly calls it Bootgaze. 

The band features Olivia Shaw (Avenhart) on fiddle, Niki Tredinnick (The Dollhouse Thieves) on vocals, clarinets, and percussion, high school English teacher Yoni Fine on guitar, and Barry Osborne on vocals and clawhammer banjo. 

Friends before they played music together, the band came together in 2019 for a one off show at Swallow Hill Music. It went so well they kept it going and their sound rapidly evolved into something immersive and visceral.

On March 7, 2020 the band played Mutiny Information Cafe and the enthusiastic and intrigued response from the audience confirmed they were onto something. A week later Denver shut down due to COVID-19 restrictions, but the band kept collaborating. By June they had five songs to take into the studio, which they recorded over the summer at The Mousetrap Recording Studio in Denver.

The result is Distance Walk, their self-titled debut EP.

I am a clawhammer banjo player who grew up on indie rock.
