THE YOUNGERS

Hailing from the heart of Pennsylvania, The Youngers are currently celebrating their 25th year as a band! The Youngers have been crafting their unique sound since their formation in 1999. Their musical journey culminated in the release of their fourth full-length album, "Nashville Again," in 2022. This milestone catapulted them into the spotlight, earning them a coveted spot at the 2023 MerleFest Festival, a testament to their exceptional talent. In 2024, The Youngers entered the Wilco Loft in Chicago to record their fifth full-length album entitled "Dreaming," which is due to be released in 2025, with the first single "The Deal" slated for release on March 7th. 

 

Their eclectic repertoire spans numerous musical genres, with their most recent offerings taking on a decidedly indie-rock personality. 

The Youngers infuse every note with foot-tapping, highway-ready vibes, and a touch of in-your-face attitude, as aptly noted by Calvin Powers of Americana Music Show. 

 

Expect the unexpected from The Youngers live shows, masters of harmonies and a dizzying array of instruments, including lap steel, upright bass, mandolin, electric twelve-string guitar, baritone guitar, acoustic and electric six-string guitars, and fretless electric bass. 

 

Their music has been featured on NPR, Sirius Radio, WMOT in Nashville, WNCW in Asheville, and Cowboy Jack Clement’s Radio Show. Their albums have garnered glowing reviews by Vintage Guitar Magazine, Relix Magazine, and the Philadelphia Inquirer, among others.
