Born in an Airstream in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains
Friendly Reminders is an indie folk-grass string quartet comprised of songwriter Ian Foster on acoustic guitar and vocal, Meg Rice on upright bass, Alex Root on five string banjo, and Luke Siddens on lead guitar. Their music is an artful blend of energetic bluegrass, soulful jazz, and dynamic folk music.
Friendly Reminders pick and groove their songs through the air and send sultry sound waves into the hearts of folks eager for insightful lyricism and beautiful harmonies. The unit creates beautiful vocal layers over driving rhythms, needle-drop moments, and skillful solos that weave in and out, over and under, out and through. Every song contains thought-provoking lyrics that leave the listener ready to queue it up for a second listen.
