Wes Urbaniak & the Mountain Folk

Wes Urbaniak and the Mountain Folk are an amphipathic resin that stabilizes the emulsion created from genre mixing. That's a mouthful, right? One part fairytale and two parts science - this mixture defines the band both in songwriting as well as in presentation. The songs twist and contort themselves around conscious themes and common experiences of the most lived-in journey in a way best described as: a new way to say the same thing. Even the instruments Urbaniak builds do this. They play the same notes, but the instruments fantastically wear different clothes and allude to having a deeper sense of spirit. The whole matter is science pushed through the pinholes of art.

The Fall Up Tour links the trio with people living in the eastern reaches of the U.S., with stops in the Midwest and West on their way to and fro, as it is. Why? Making connections, linking up, and living the life we were meant to live, through all of the ups and downs of that road. Let's keep it on the up.
