“Every once in a while a band comes along that knocks me back on my heels. Well Tellico just did that for me. ” -- Ronnie Norton, WSM Route With vivid storytelling, vibrant musicianship and arresting honesty, Anya Hinkle & Tellico explore the beauty of song craft through the lens of the Appalachian string band tradition. Originally from the mountains of Virginia, Anya’s music is steeped in the tones of folk and bluegrass and seasoned by travels across the world. Tour highlights in 2019 include tours in Japan and France and performances at MerleFest, La Roche Bluegrass Festival (Europe’s largest), Albino Skunk, and the North Carolina Folk Festival. 2020 will also feature international tours to the Netherlands and Japan, and the release of a new album on Organic Records expected by year’s end.
