In her 2017 release, Shanti’s Shadow, Phoebe Hunt intimately revealed her inner journey through meditation and musical exploration and “reignited her solo career” according to Rolling Stone, hinting at “otherworldly music within.”

Along with her band, The Gatherers, Hunt has found the musical wings upon which to soar within her unique world of artistic expression. From American Songwriter to NPR’s Heavy Rotation, her music is reaching an audience that listens beyond the status quo. Her upcoming release, Neither One of Us Is Wrong, has deep story lines focused on the outer journey of our society and the times in which we live. Connected by the thin thread of reconciliation, Hunt offers a discourse that must be facilitated delicately through the lens of the artist’s perspective. “With so much division in our society, even inner familiarly, people can feel lost, like they don’t even know how to begin the conversation… so they stop talking.” Neither One of Us Was Wrong explores the myriad of emotions that encompass that disconnection.  

Recorded in Brooklyn at Grand Street Studio with her tribe of musical companions, The Gatherers, Hunt’s music speaks to the deepening polarity of the times we live in. Hunt’s songs are a tour de force of folk and alt-country, beautifully employing fast-paced fiddles and backing vocals. Her music has been called “a transformative experience, guided by her spiritual foundation.”

Past Press

“Phoebe Hunt’s mystical meditations lie at the core of the music that she makes with the Gatherers. Searching for a spiritual poignancy in the emotional sentiments of folk storytelling, Phoebe Hunt & the Gatherers are acutely aware of the human condition, its triumphs and setbacks, and the divides set between us.” – PopMatters

“A transcendent art piece sculpting beauty and raw poeticism.” – American Songwriter

“With Hunt merging her Appalachian-style fiddle chops with Texas twang, Indian ragas, gypsy jazz, unfamiliar time signatures and the free-spirited fun of a jam band leader. The resulting record breathes new life into a genre that’s sometimes so respectful of the past, it fails to push toward the future.” – Rolling Stone Country

“With a twang in her voice and her trademark energetic fiddling, Texas singer-songwriter Phoebe Hunt tells the story of a woman who is determined to make her own way in the world.” – NPR

“At moments, there’s such exuberance in her movements, she looks like she might actually take flight. Like the character she’s singing about, Phoebe Hunt is clearly going to do things her own way – and she’s clearly going to have a fabulous time while she does it.” – Folk Alley

“Launching the song with clear acoustic mandolins ringing out in plenty of space, Phoebe Hunt has created a soothing folk lullaby for adults.” – Americana Highways

“The vocal performance is as expected sublime and knows to capture attention until the last note.” – Lefuturewave

“It’s like an amalgamation of American music styles. I hear a bit of Appalachian, a bit of western folk, and a lot of joyful celebration. The entire mix makes for something both pleasing to the ear and infinitely interesting. I can’t quite explain every detail of what I like about the song, but it resonates with me.” – Ear to the Ground

“What is Phoebe Hunt doing to country on her new album ‘Neither One of US is Wrong‘? Or, put it another way, what is Phoebe Hunt not doing to country on her new album ‘Neither One of US is Wrong‘? For, within what is still a recognizable structure, Phoebe Hunt and the loose coalition of musicians that make up The Gatherers take paths rarely trodden into what can only be identified as that rarely heard thing, the true Cosmic American Music.” – Americana UK

Singer-songwriter Phoebe Hunt will release her powerful new single “Marching On” on March 30th. Directly following the spring equinox, “Marching On” is the first of four singles Hunt will release this year, celebrating the cycle of the seasons. 

“Being about rebirth, creation, action, awakening and vibrance, spring feels like the right time to play songs like ‘Marching On’ which pull us toward the feeling of being part of a bigger picture,” Hunt said. “The song is a call to action, reminding us that it has always been the strength of the people coming together with a united voice that has inspired change in any capacity.” 

Hunt’s 2017 full-length release Shanti’s Shadow “reignited her solo career” according to Rolling Stone, hinting at “otherworldly music within”.  Along with her band, The Gatherers, Hunt has found the musical wings upon which to soar within her unique world of artistic expression.  From American Songwriter to NPR’s Heavy Rotation, her music is reaching an audience that listens beyond the status quo.

Hunt’s “Marching On” offers an honest perspective of today’s political climate and the confusion of modern times. Her lyrics speak to a juxtaposition where we each face the daily choice of living for our own personal gain or with the bigger picture of humanity in mind.“Yes, we’re begging for a change, and no, we cannot see its name / We’re blinded by the constant pounding lie / That every man can be a king and it won't cost us anything / But ancient blood that's hidden in the mud”

Inspired by the ancestral teachings of the Native American people, Hunt’s lyrics remind us of the blood that has spilled for generations over this confusion of values.

Marching On

Within critically acclaimed 2017 release, Shanti’s Shadow, Phoebe Hunt intimately revealed her inner journey through meditation and musical exploration. Her upcoming release, Neither One of Us Is Wrong, takes flight from this personal introspection and casts reflection on our society that Hunt deems the duality of the ‘outer world’. 

“I see music, and art in general, as an opportunity to interpret and transmute the experiences we collectively encounter as we journey through life on this planet at this time.”

Recorded in Brooklyn, NY at the Grand Street Studio with her tribe of musical companions, The Gatherers (Roy Williams -Guitar/Vox, Dominick Leslie - Mandolin, Mandola, Octave Mandolin, Sam Reider - Piano, Organ, Accordion, all things keys, Dave Speranza - Bass, Jared Engle - Bass, Rachel Loy - Bass, Nicholas Falk - Drums, Stephanie Hunt, Jazz Mills and Sierra Hull - Vocal Harmonies, Mike Barnett and Ethan Jodziewicz - additional strings), Neither One of Us Is Wrong speaks to the deepening polarity of the time we live in. The album’s title track was co-written with Hunt’s long time mentor, Lari White Cannon, just before she was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2018.  

“This song speaks to the reconciliation of unknowable sorrow that comes from intense and sometimes oppositional forces that nature herself presents”  

Using a song as a metaphor for the key to our search for divine expression ‘beyond all understanding of melody or song’ Hunt relays the way in which what we face in our world is beyond the grasp of the logical mind. If we cease struggling to make sense of our world, but rather tune into this nuanced and logic-defying realm, deep change can occur. This subtle realm, or liminal space, is the space between physical and non-physical existence.

“Between the black and white of a yin/yang symbol lays a thin line, a gateway to transformation, where truth is revealed and transmutation occurs.” 

Accompanying Neither One Of Us Is Wrong, Hunt is releasing a series of ‘dreamscape reality’ music videos that invite exploration of this liminal space via the subconscious mind.

“Through this album, it is my hope to connect as deeply as possible with the most diverse group of people I can find.  It is only when we make connections with those who we cast aside as ‘other’ that we can bridge the divide so prevalent in our current reality.”
