Mountain Man
Mountain Man is an American folk trio from Bennington, Vermont, formed in 2009 and still active. The group comprises Amelia Meath, Molly Sarlé and Alexandra Sauser-Monnig. They often sing a cappella and work with three distinct songwriting approaches that are treated within the same release.
Style and songwriting
The trio’s music centres on close vocal harmony and three different writing styles. Sauser-Monnig’s songs are guitar-based and rooted in a slow-moving, earthy sound. Meath writes for voices alone, building intricate layered vocal structures. Sarlé also writes for guitar, with material that leaves room for weight, drama and tension.
Releases
Mountain Man first releases a limited self-titled album, Mountain Man, and follows it with Made The Harbor in 2010. The group later releases Magic Ship in 2018.
Other artist with the same name
