Mount Moriah

North Carolina-based alt-Americana outfit Mount Moriah blends the neo-traditional indie folk of the Low Anthem with the fire and brimstone of 16 Horsepower. Formed in the late 2000s by Heather McEntire and Jenks Miller, both of whom had spent considerable time at the opposite end of the folk spectrum as members of Bellafea (post-punk) and Horseback (psych-metal), respectively, the project grew out the pair’s long friendship and shared love of American folk music. They released The Letting Go in 2010, followed by an eponymous full-length in 2011. By 2015, Mount Moriah had grown into a trio, and this edition of the band released its third album, How to Dance, in February 2016.
