Get to Know Mountain Man

We love this little profile of the sublime Mountain Man in the December issue of Relix. The trio talks through its earliest days in college in Vermont, their rekindled friendship, and the epic road trip that took them from California to their current home base in North Carolina (including a stop at a wild warehouse party in New Orleans). Alexandra Sauser-Monnig really captures the spirit of the trio’s magic chemistry, too: “What we do together is so simple, and everything is present just by us being present together and singing.” Experience it for yourself in Knoxville in March.
