ABOUT US

Upon first listen, Harvest Thieves' native Texan roots show through. The band's well-crafted lyrics are confessional yet fluid, and they paint with strokes that put you squarely into a story - in a way that eases a relation to your own.

As The Sparks Fly Upward was written and recorded over a four-year period that witnessed the arrival and passing of the pandemic. Rather than a record about the ills of confinement and separation, the album survives more as a living document of the strangeness and aberration that occurred. A fitting commentary on societal upheaval in the face of some surreal American sensibility.

With potent storytelling, a smattering of rollicking guitars and fiddle playing, colorful harmonies, and the occasional honky-tonk tune, Harvest Thieves gather the most vulnerable details of their crossroads and recount their experience in a manner that provides an openness and honesty that most artists never approach.

The Austin based alt-country six-piece keeps busy, bringing their barroom swagger and swirling balladry to the streets of their hometown and beyond.
