Palmyra

Established in the Shenandoah Valley, Palmyra explores the fusion of traditional folk string instruments, three part harmonies, and earnest songwriting.

The trio captures the collective spirit of three Virginia natives – Teddy (he/him), Manoa (he/him), and Sasha (they/them) – often described as a distant cousin of the progressive folk band, Punch Brothers, mixed with elements of Oliver Wood or the Avett Brothers.

Palmyra’s songs are intimate and contemplative, with arrangements that allow them to create the illusion of a full, larger-than-three ensemble. The trio’s sound is a nod to Appalachia and Midwestern Americana, apparent through their stirring craftsmanship and dedication to a folk-driven, innovative experience throughout each unique live performance.
