Earthy, familial alt-pop outfit Delta Rae skillfully juggle gospel-tinged country-rock, sensual blue-eyed soul, and harmony-laden Americana, resulting in an infectious, radio-ready sound. Formed in 2009 as a four-piece around the talents of siblings Ian, Eric, and Brittany H\u00f6lljes, along with Elizabeth Hopkins, the North Carolina-based band expanded to a sextet the following year with the additions of Mike McKee and Grant Emerson.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2011 the group inked a deal with Sire\/Warner Bros. after a particularly impressive in-office audition for Seymour Stein, who was blown away by Hopkins and the H\u00f6lljes siblings’ powerful voices. The resulting\u00a0Carry the Fire<\/em>, their major-label debut, arrived in 2012.\u00a0Carry the Fire<\/em>\u00a0reached 11 on the U.S. Heatseekers chart and 13 on the folk chart. Delta Rae released their second album,\u00a0After It All<\/em>, in the spring of 2015. Following a relocation to Nashville, the band signed with Big Machine in 2017 and issued a pair of EPs –\u00a0A Long and Happy Life<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Blackbird Sessions<\/em>\u00a0– in quick succession. The front part of 2019 saw a spate of new singles, though in July of that year, Delta Rae announced their departure from Big Machine following a massive company buyout. Choosing to go independent, they quickly launched a massively successful crowd-funding campaign for their next release, a two-part double album called\u00a0The Light & the Dark<\/em>. The first volume,\u00a0The Light<\/em>, appeared in March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
