Traditional sounds of rural Appalachia and the deep South served up with dance-pop sensibility and an Indie-rock attitude; Junior League's contemporary take on American roots music draws inspiration from old-time fiddle tunes, swingin' country, bangin' bluegrass, and soulful delta blues. While the rhythm section, lays down boot-stomping grooves and infectious string hooks, lead singer and banjer player, the lovely Lissy Rosemont, brings the band's cleverly arranged compositions to life and hypnotizes audiences with her sultry voice, sweet lyrics, and Southern charm. Junior League's instrumentation includes mandolin, guitar, banjo, fiddle, double-bass, harmonica and drums. The mostly acoustic group, based in Washington D.C., has toured the East from Boston to Atlanta and just returned from a West Coast epic that took them from L.A. all the way up to Seattle. Although they completed a residency at Pianos in June and have played venues like The Living Room and Pete's Candy Store, Junior League members have also been spotted busking together on street corners and outside farmer's markets in Brooklyn and several other major American cities.

"---The songs are both unabashedly old-fashioned and amazingly modern, a walk in the Appalachian Mountains crossed with a breeze in the middle of the sweltering city heat. It is the kind of music that makes you want to kick your shoes off, in the best way imaginable..." - BrightestYoungThings.com

"---Another young band with surprisingly mature talents, the Junior League (named after the rich girls' volunteer association) plays old-fashion music, with square-dance fiddle, mandolin, harmonica, and bluegrass done-me-wrong themes. But if that brings to mind a dusty NPR show, just give a listen: this music is fresh and appealing and sounds like the form was just invented---" - On Tap Magazine

"---This band's sound is not your usual deal. It's more country, but not country. More twangy, but not twangy, if you catch my drift. Lissy Rosemont's charming voice carries most of these tracks, but the band is very capable all around. The mandolin and fiddle playing is well done and wonderful additions..." - SF Station
