The Onlies

With Lafayette natives The Onlies' sophomore release they have discovered that the road truly has opened for them. "Open Road" was produced by Grammy nominated producer and engineer Terry DuPuy who has worked with Hunter Hayes, Roddie Romero, and Feufollet among many others. Though The Onlies started out as a duo with Fawn Larson and Will Harrison, they have since elected music veteran Gary Newman on upright bass and Luke Andrus on the drums. Larson's siren-like vocals will sweep you in with the ebb and flow of her carefully crafted lyrics while Harrison's playful yet rough edge becomes softened as their melody and harmonies intertwine. Drummer Luke Andrus contributes on the album as well, making his vocal debut on the album's bluesiest track "Pink Motel". The Onlies continue to stick to their folk roots while borrowing from bluegrass, old country, cajun, blues, indie and pop to make one incredibly enjoyable and diverse album. After seeing local and national success with their debut self titled album, including radio airplay, touring, and a spot on the soundtrack of "We Made This Movie" from David Letterman's production company, The Onlies look forward to where "Open Road" will take them this August. With the windows down and the wind in your hair, The Onlies' new album takes you on a trip that will have you tapping your foot and singing along. www.theonliesband.com

The Onlies have a rare gift for storytelling that is barely surpassed by their musical chops. 

It wouldn't do you any good for me to describe each song on Open Road, though that's kind of what I want to do. Whether The Onlies are singing are about childhood nostalgia, relationships gone south, or small-town life, each song is a mini epic story. Every verse is delivered with a profound insight or two. Fawn Larson's country-perfect voice is like caramel to Will Harrison's gravelly chocolate. They're both great on their own, but they're sublime together. Normally I'm not enough of a music nerd to comment on it, but it's worth noting that the mixing on this album is perfectly. Gary Newman's gentle standup bass is brought to the forefront, which serves to make the music warm and intimate. As a result, the album has a family feel, like a living room concert.
