Preview: River Whyless @ The Kennedy Center, 8/3/23

“It’s not a virtue, to stay in one place.”

River Whyless is slated to play the Kennedy Center’ Millenium Stage on Thursday, August 3 , in the band’s return to the DC area.

The individual members of the Asheville, North Carolina-based band have never stayed in one place for too long since they formed 10 years ago, and neither has the band as a collective, challenging itself with each succeeding album. Beyond the music though, their understanding that “this band is their lifeblood, their family, and their love.”

We recall our lives’ familiar milestones; birthdays, marriage, divorce, children, graduations…but there are life events when we don’t realize their profound impact until years later. But I remember when it happened to me — August 2013.

Sitting with dozens of other parents at Appalachian State University (ASU) in Boone, North Carolina, at a campus orientation visit for prospective students, I perked up at the soundtrack music. This was unlike any other college recruitment music I’d ever heard: unique, compelling, imaginative. The music was credited to a band called Do It To Julia, a precursor to River Whyless as I soon learned.

Indeed, 10 years since I first met and photographed the band, Halli Anderson, Alex McWalters, Ryan O’Keefe, and Daniel Shearin have all evolved from college graduates excitedly starting a band to seasoned songwriters and artists.

The band’s first album, A Stone, a Leaf, an Unfound Door (2012), had just been released and in August 2013, I found myself photographing River Whyless at a Hill Country Live outdoor performance in downtown Washington, DC. Afterwards I thought to myself, “well, that was fun.” Chatting with Halli, we joked about having to compete with the Justin Bieber show down the street at the Verizon Center (as it was called back then) and how everyone kept glancing skyward, hoping the impending rain would hold off (luckily, it did).

Stream A Stone, a Leaf, an Unfound Door by River Whyless on Spotify .

Though I didn’t realize it at the time, that show set me on a path from which there was no return and I’ve found River Whyless in my lens every year since. What began as a chance encounter in a college auditorium became an enduring obsession with live music and photography as those Asheville musicians invited me into their lives and, in so doing, changed mine.

River Whyless’s individual members have gone on to forge their own life paths: advanced degrees, marriages, children, and a solid musical catalogue of 4 full-length albums, an EP, and numerous singles (not to mention a collaboration with Graham Nash).

To describe River Whyless’ music as amazing, awesome, or beautiful is a woefully inadequate use of adjectives. Perhaps descriptors like “creative,” “adventurous,” “complex,” “unique” are more accurate.

Since A Stone, a Leaf, an Unfound Door, each succeeding album has crossed new boundaries. Described by some as folk-rock, nature-pop, or baroque folk, River Whyless’s music celebrates nature, diversity and intimacy with imaginative, accessible melodies and insightful lyrics.

Stream the latest River Whyless album, Monoflora on Spotify.

The lyrics quoted above come from River Whyless’s second album, We All the Light (2016), imploring us to keep moving forward, to seek new challenges, to find light. Ten years on, thanks to a band whose friendship and music mean the world to me, I’ve found how true and relevant those words apply to us all.

River Whyless plays the Kennedy Center’s Millenium Stage on August 3rd, returning to North Carolina for shows in Durham on 8/4 and AVLfest in Asheville on August 5.

Millennium Stage (In-Person and Livestream) River Whyless

Millennium Stage

River Whyless is North Carolina-bred folk-rock. Deep in the throes of writing and recording their bold 2018 album Kindness, A Rebel , the four musicians reached a necessary and collective understanding. Namely: this band is their lifeblood, their family, and their love.

Online advance reservations for a given performance date will open on a rolling basis, opening every Wednesday two weeks out from the date.

For many bands, and especially those who’ve been together for several years, recognizing maturation, progress, or palpable evolution is a daunting task. Is it continued creative accomplishment that signals progression? Or perhaps it’s profitable commercial endeavors? The answer is often quite unclear.

Countless gigs after first forming as a band, River Whyless—the North Carolina-bred folk-rock outfit—has discovered their evolution is a subtler albeit monumentally important one. Deep in the throes of writing and recording their bold 2018 album Kindness, A Rebel , the four musicians reached a necessary and collective understanding. Namely: this band is their lifeblood, their family, and their love.

With unspoken acceptance, the members of River Whyless (each a songwriter in their own right) collectively put aside their respective egos, coalesced around each other’s creative vision, and fully embraced the beauty of their enduring partnership.

Fans' concert reviews

Ashland coffee & tea in ashland, us on fri, 23 jan 2015.

This was the first time I have seen this young group live and it was more than I expected. I would say this is deceptively simple music. Music you can enjoy while thinking about other things if you wish... but to really get it requires a bit of musical concentration on the listener's part, which I like. Chris Thile once said to one of his band mates that was worried that they were playing above their audience, "Never underestimate your audience" We (your audience) want what you want; a beautiful musical experience, that sometimes, if you are lucky, will take you far away from your everyday. Trippy with a soft landing reminding me of Pink Floyd one minute and Bela Fleck the next all while remaining very tactile and in the moment. Very nice and I recommend seeing them live if you get the chance. There is a certain amount of theatrics to their performance but if you be open to going someplace you haven't been before... they'll take you there.
