Effective period / Period of releases: 2015

Led by songwriter, Sam Bush, The Hill and Wood has been one of Virginia's most critically adored new-fangled bands since 2011. While the project has continued to evolve over the years - shifting its once folk-pop roots into a more multifaceted and stratified sound - its foundation continues to rest on good songwriting, strong melodies and the soaring harmonies of Juliana Daugherty. The music has been compared to Wilco, Andrew Bird, Belle and Sebastian and Sharon Van Etten, although Bush makes no prseomise to remind you of any of those people. Having recently signed to Randm Records, The Hill and Wood is set to record its third album in January 2016.
