Hailing from Stallings, NC, Province of Thieves is an all-acoustic modern folk ensemble featuring guitar, mandolin, ukulele, Irish bouzouki, upright bass, and percussion. But what sets this band apart is their powerful vocal harmonies reminiscent of the Eagles and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Add original songs with clever lyrics and occasional flashes of humor and it’s no wonder this band is on the rise.
Founding members Brad Davidson and Greg Moore share songwriting duties, with influences spanning folk rock, Americana, bluegrass, Celtic, Beach music and even 80’s pop, to name a few. Every Thieves song seems rooted in Carolina soil, but with clear musical influences from well beyond their home state. In fact, the heart of the Thieves’ music is their drive to keep expanding their sound, regularly blending new and old elements to keep their songs fresh and exciting, yet still familiar. Combined with Parker Foley on upright bass and Jennie Brooks on percussion, their live performances are turning heads throughout the region.
The Thieves have been performing together since 2012, starting as a duo and later expanding to their current lineup. They have previously released two original albums, Province of Thieves (2014) and Laverna (2016). Fresh off a win at the 2018 Carolina Music Awards for best Bluegrass/Folk band, the Thieves invite you join them as they kick of 2019 with the release of their third studio album, Weight of the Sky.
