Americana/Roots Rockers Chamomile & Whiskey in NYC at Rockwood Music Hall

In just a handful of years, Chamomile and Whiskey have gone from being one of the hottest bands in central Virginia to making serious waves up and down the east coast to touring nationally.

Having released two albums on County Wide Records and having played hundreds of shows on the east coast, Chamomile and Whiskey is carving out a unique place for themselves on the Americana scene. Much of their success can be attributed to their passionate and energetic live performance. A Chamomile and Whiskey show is a rowdy affair, often sending the sounds of whiskey being spilled, boots stomping, and fans howling towards the Blue Ridge Mountains. The strong connection with the audience has given them a number of great opportunities... including shows with Railroad Earth, Rusted Root, fellow Charlottesville natives The Hackensaw Boys, STEEP CANYON RANGERS and CARBON LEAF and performing at high profile festivals such as Floydfest, Tilted Earth and THE FESTY.

In 2013,the band released their debut album, "Wandering Boots." From top to bottom, this collection of songs is a testament to the band's eclectic nature. From the raucous gypsy title track "Wandering Boots" to the smooth country-fied "Impressions"... to the high-tempo Irish tune "Dirty Sea," the album's genre bends with each track. Marie Borgman's versatile fiddle playing is a key component to the group's adaptability... while Irish and Old-Time seem her forte, gypsy and classical musings are heard throughout the album. The contrast between Koda Kerl and Ryan Lavin's songwriting showcases another great blend of sounds. Kerl, who penned six of the nine numbers, has a smooth and soulful voice, heard distinctly on the poignant "Long Day" and the pirate-like "Second Lullaby." Lavin (a native of Galway, Ireland) brings passionate vocals to his tunes, as well his own brand of banjo playing... elevating the energy with every note. The rhythm pulsates with the thump of hungry musicians, a bottle of whiskey and a purpose.

Chamomile and Whiskey possess an infectious energy that sweeps across the stage when they perform. The love they share for each other and the music quickly and emphatically reaches their audience. Chamomile and Whiskey are currently putting the final touches on a new album.
