LADEN VALLEY

Based in Newport, RI, Laden Valley is an indie-folk band fronted by Evan St. Martin and Dave Sarazen. With songs that oscillate between stripped down acoustic ballads to winding psychedelic improvisations, their sound pays homage to the wide-ranging sonic palette of the 1970s. Centered on tight vocal harmonies and honest songwriting, the band explores the themes of passing time, the excesses of modern life, and the long road to realizing redemption.
