Charleston is buzzing with excitement as local music sensations Southbound 17 have just released their highly-anticipated EP, Southern Gothic. Fresh off their title as Charleston’s Choice Best Band of 2024, this dynamic duo is bringing something truly special to their fans.
For long-time followers of Southbound 17, this release holds a significant meaning. After a decade of making music together, Jack Austen and Katie Bailey have finally dropped their first full album as a duo. Until now, they were known more as a traditional band, but this evolution is a testament to their growth and a new chapter in their artistic journey. “The ideas for this project have been kicking around for years,” Austen shared. Fans can definitely hear the passion and dedication poured into every note of the new EP.
Another exciting first for Southbound 17 is their collaboration with renowned Nashville producer Zachary Manno, known for his work with big names like Lady A and BRELAND. This partnership has changed the way Austen and Bailey approach their music. “Working with Zach was a completely different experience than we had ever had before when we recorded music,” Austen explained. “He approached everything track by track, and every decision was intentional.” It seems this meticulous approach has paid off, as fans are already praising the polished sound of Southern Gothic.
This new EP draws inspiration from the rich heritage of the South, infusing elements of folk, country, and rock. The band has beautifully encapsulated their vision of what Southern Gothic means to them, both in terms of sound and visual aesthetic. The duo has envisioned what the album should look like and sound like for years, and this release is their ultimate artistic expression.
Southern Gothic is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify. With its captivating melodies and heartfelt lyrics, it’s sure to resonate with both loyal fans and new listeners alike. Don’t miss out – grab your headphones and give it a listen!
