The Starlings
The Starlings, led by the magnetic harmonies and songwriting of Joy Mills and Tom Parker, the lyrics and vocals are all at once wistful and fierce, haunting and soothing.
Their approach is contemporary and inventive, inspired by the classics of country, folk and Appalachia. Guitar, banjo, and harmonica give front porch flavors, while Aimee Zoe Tubbs and Jack Quick provide the solid and stylish foundation on drums and bass, respectively, as well as backing vocals.
Based out of Seattle, The Starlings are bringing their blend of country and folk music to an ever broader stage, garnering fans from all corners of the musical spectrum.
Elemental themes create The Starlings' solid repertoire - from a pin-dropping ballad to a foot-stomping barnburner, their images linger - empty boxcars, twilight on the prairie, divining rods, river beds, the long drive home, and an underlying wonder at the mystery of it all.
