   About The Tender Fruit
The Tender Fruit grows deep in the sweltering streets of central 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 few years (Nola, Bon Iver, Megafaun).

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 Ms. Staci Sawyer

We had such a great time too at the BCHQ! It was really great playing with you guys and we would definitely like to do it again soon! And I am so happy you have our glockenspiel!!! We were looking all over for it the other night before practice so it is good to know that it's safe. We will try and get it from you soon. And yes, that is a wedding picture and we had so much fun! Thanks for asking. Great to hear from you and please keep in touch.
