Sounds Like"A Roadtrip through Rural America"

-NBC 5

"A Simple and Elegant blend of Lo-Fi Americana and Soul. Catchy Choruses, Intelligent lyrics, and the Synthetic sounds meet the Visceral to create an atmosphere that the listener can lose themselves in."

-CDBaby.com

"Freely stepping across and often defying genres, Combs mixes acoustic and synthetic sounds and tones to create an atmosphere in his music that is sometimes surreal, sometimes haunting, sometimes whimsical, but always personal."

-The Local Tourist.com

"Greg Combs, Christine Knodle and Jeff Brown come together to form Goodbyehome, a folk/Americana band that can be compared to alternative country star Ryan Adams and folk singer Joshua James."

-The Columbia Chronicle

   About GOODBYEHOME

Goodbyehome performs live at The Basement in Nashville, TN from Jackson Combs on Vimeo. ..

Breathless, excitingly embryonic on stage, with a rare Folky wistfulness that makes your heart soar and drop simultaneously. Goodbyehome make the music that would accompany sad, fond memories of a road trip where, after driving for hours in the wilderness, you met a beautiful girl at a bar in the middle of nowhere, and spent your whole night with her, knowing you'd never see her again.

The band's songs range from upbeat pop to instrumentally lush melodramatic ballads, Goodbyehome unique lyrical approach to the angst and introspection common to modern rock, favors a storytelling approach. The band's songs convey tales ranging from whimsical "Bicycles" to epic "Impossible Light" to Psychedelic" Rain Dance" to the dark "Don't Break Down" while often invoking primal events and locations from the American Folk Tradition. The band continues to break through the chains of these comparisons to specific sounds by proving there vision to be true to itself through performance and versatility.
