Valley Flower is a 5-piece string band of friends who met picking in the Central Texas bluegrass scene by way of Virginia, North Carolina and Minnesota. To describe their sound, KUTX noted, “Valley Flower cross pollinates those iconic Appalachian sounds with the freshest petals of country, folk, and jam..clearly [infused by their] unique regional influences.” Valley Flower’s distinctive style and powerful songwriting is captivating audiences locally and around the country, earning residencies at Austin’s largest americana venues and spots opening for national touring acts out of Nashville & Denver’s newgrass/alt-country scene. Valley Flower’s debut EP drops on 1/30/25.
Valley Flower released their first single, “Valley Flower,” in July 2024, which quickly landed on Spotify’s Editorial “Newgrass” Playlist. The band released two more singles in 2024, growing up to 10k monthly listeners and earning nearly 30k streams in their five months on Spotify. On their latest release, “Run Buddy”, music journalist Country Cutler applauded Valley Flower’s “seamless blending of Appalachian hillbilly styles and classic Texas country.”
“Given our place in the lush Hill Country, you might’ve already guessed that Valley Flower is based here in Austin.
