Back to the Valley, the new album from Appalachian folk-rockers Low Water Bridge Band, finds the Virginia sextet deepening their sense of home and sharpening their musical skillset with tight harmonies, well-crafted tunes, and ferocious instrumental breaks. A fitting follow-up to their last LP, Midnight in Virginia, this new ten-song collection represents the band’s graduation from barnstorming clubs in the Shenandoah Valley to playing festival stages along the East Coast. Made up of Logan Moore (guitar, vocals), Alex Kerns (bass, vocals), Riley Kerns (drums, background vocals), James Montgomery (lead guitar), Justin Carver (pedal steel, banjo), and Rudy Bzdyk (fiddle, trumpet, keyboards), Low Water Bridge Band have made their career by furthering their sound; forged by firelight picking and ramped up into a romping, stomping on-stage energy, excellently presented in recorded form on Back to the Valley.
