NPR’s All Songs Considered described Sturtz as a reassuring breath of fresh air that pulls me back to simpler times." The quartet – Andrew Sturtz [vocals, guitar], Courtlyn Carpenter [cello, harmonies], Will Kuepper [bass, piano, harmonies], and Jim Herlihy [banjo, electric guitar, harmonies] - is serene and folksy, with melodic vocals soaring over the lower string instrumentals. Sturtz just released their second studio album, Hyacinth, in September 2024 and they're excited to tour on this album for the next year. When they’re not playing music, you’ll probably find them milling flour, gardening, roasting coffee, or fine-tuning their photography skills.
