Delta Rae Video in Support of Marriage Equality * Debut Album Out 6/19

Delta Rae are getting ready to release their debut album, Carry The Fire, on June 19^th. They're currently out on the road, touring the country doing what they do best - playing live. Check out the dates below and let me know if you'd like a copy of the album sent your way. You can also download a live album for free on their website in exchange for an email address and watch the band's video for the haunting single "Bottom Of The River" while you're at it.

Several years ago, California voters passed Prop 8, which effectively banned gay marriage in the State.  In response, Delta Rae's Ian Hölljes wrote song "Chain of Love," protesting what he believed Prop 8 to be - a severely unjust law that directly discriminated against the LGBT community and, by doing so, infringed on the rights of all Americans.   

Today, voters face a similar choice in the band's home-state of North Carolina with Amendment One.  Delta Rae fervently supports marriage equality and, more generally, the equal rights of the entire LGBT community.  They hope the great people of North Carolina join them in voting against Amendment One.  

Let's be on the right side of history and set a standard our children and grandchildren, looking back, can be proud.

Delta Rae are the pride of Durham, North Carolina. The 6 person unit - 3 siblings, Brittany, Ian & Eric Hölljes along with Elizabeth Hopkins, Mike McKee and Grant Emerson - create a sound rich in Carolina soul with hypnotizing  4-part boy/girl harmonies. Think Americana meets Alternative meets blue grass meets pop. The band put on an incredible live performance and have headlined shows to sold out crowds across the country and played several shows at SXSW in Austin this year. They are currently out on the road and will play a variety of festivals this summer and fall including Mountain Jam in Upstate NY and Harvest Fest in Arkansas.
