Wiley Gaby, Teresa Jimenez, and Jeffrey Doker grew up in the Florida Panhandle, making music together and independently throughout childhood. After trekking separate paths across the country they converged musically in Brooklyn in 2013 to form country/rock band The Choir Diary. These three songwriters all have different stories to tell, but their songs blend together naturally through a shared pioneer fancy and a North Florida nostalgia. 

These Apalachicola River escapees are newly joined by lead guitarist Jeff Mensch, whose impressive list of projects includes Money & King, Bel Air, and Colonna Sonora. The Choir Diary draws on such influences as Dolly Parton, George Jones, Fleetwood Mac, Neko Case, Gram Parsons, and The New Pornographers to craft a fresh and honest sound built upon a love and reverence for the foundations of country rock.
