SMI Radio Ep. 42 On Demand: Ravenna Woods

By on December 15, 2011

Ravenna Woods has received local and national attention because of a non-traditional approach to acoustic folk music. The three-piece outfit produces edgy and dark songs with haunting lyrical themes. The atmospheric harmonies soar above clean guitar tones and tasty, minimalistic yet complex arrangements. The band will embark on a West Coast Tour which kicks off in Portland  at Mississippi Studios on January 19th. They will be back up to The Emerald City for a show at the Comet Tavern on January 20th and then head back down the coast.

I spoke to guitarist and vocalist Chris Cunningham about the group, their music and their influences. In addition Chris talks about their partnership With Red Ryder Entertainment.

Check out the piece I wrote on them on examiner.com
