With their sophomore release, Rest Easy, The Foothills build upon the theme of being resilient in a troubled world that was introduced on their first album, Shadow of The Mountain. Through songs about fleeing past demons (Another Day), healing strained relationships (Storyline), and seeking fulfillment in temporary pleasures (Dopamine), the album encourages listeners to consider the reality that, "At the end of the day you're only paying rent on the skin you're living in." Rest Easy is available now on all major streaming platforms.

While mainly relying on bluegrass instrumentation, the band constantly experiments with sounds, instruments, and genres while maintaining an artistic vision that is authentic to the group.

Album Overview

With their third album release, Twenty-First Century Blues, the band continues a story arc they began with their two previous albums, Shadow of the Mountain and Rest Easy.  Cumulatively, the albums show a Southern man struggling to find peace from his own decisions and a world that's rapidly growing more complex.  OnTwenty-First Century Blues, the band wrestles with some of the major social topics of our time while weaving threads of hope and resilience throughout the album. 

Along with outstanding contributions from drummer Ivan Garcia (Strung Like A Horse), keyboardist Brett Nolan (The Communicators/Milele Roots), and banjo extraordinaire Randy Steele (High Cold Wind/Slim Pickins), Twenty-First Century Blues displays The Foothills at peak form.

Twenty-First Century Blues

The Foothills are an acoustic trio from Chattanooga, Tennessee who blends a diverse range of Americana traditions - folk, country, blues, soul, and bluegrass - in an effort to create timeless musical statements that delicately balance artistic integrity and popular appeal.

Drawing comparisons to artists such as John Prine, Jason Isbell, and The SteelDrivers, The Foothills’ lyrics are painfully honest and often autobiographical. Written for ragged souls, the band hopes their songs serve as a doorway through which listeners can consider their own stories and find hope despite hard times.
