Bio
Five strangers from the Triangle have joined forces to create one of the most diverse and grounded alt-country outfits in years. Built around the original songs of two local singer-songwriters, The Lonesome Departed is steeped in the tradition of folk-rock music while served on a bed of southern twang. Pedal steel, banjo, piano, guitars, and bass provide a satisfying gumbo of rich sound. These songs can travel from traditional to ethereal in a matter of seconds. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. ..MyGen.. ..Profile Generator.. .. -

Thanks to everyone who made it out to see our show last week at Local 506! We will keep you posted about upcoming spring shows.
Howdy Partners,
New music has been added up top: Sarah's "Porchlight Lament" and a new version of "Lost But Not Forgotten". Hope you dig it.

I toggled on "Two Shots." Next thing you know I had my Kentucky Bourbon on the table... soon after I had stripped down to nothing but a pair of boots and a ten gallon hat... I woke up in a puddle of urine and Ryan Adams was on the stereo.
Ahhh I can't. I'm actually going to Charlotte later that week.
I'll def try to make another one by the end of the year though. By that time you'll have more experience on stage & it'll be better, haha.
