The Tender Fruit grows deep in the sweltering streets of Durham, NC where its tenuous songs ring prosaic, full-tinny & true. It is the newest musical incarnation of Christy Smith, a North Carolina native who has lent her voice and talents to several other prestigious projects over the past year (Nola, Bon Iver).
The songs themselves blend the apocalyptic with the supernal. Layered vocals billow effortlessly around the crude, earth-bound drum beats and stilted guitar lines that court them.
Christy performs these songs with drummer/vocalist/jeweler extraordinaire Staci Sawyer. The pair are playing venues & fests throughout NC.
