River and Rail at the Rustic Church

We are excited to welcome River and Rail, Grace and Alex Fincher on Sunday, May 11 – Mother's Day at the Rustic Church at Modern Homestead. Join us for a fun evening with live music and friends. Imposter Pizza and Cafe Concessions available at the show and craft beer by Short Story Brewing. Tickets on sale now.

Doors open at 5pm. Grace and Alex Fincher wed in 2021, moving to Nashville, TN and establishing Indie Folk/New Bluegrass duo, “River & Rail.” They have since performed over 100 shows- opening for acts such as Willi Carlisle, Esme Patterson, and The Arcadian Wild

Possessing a voice that is equal parts haunting and agile, Grace’s songwriting quickly captivates the audience. Alex’s textural, melodic acoustic guitar and mandolin weaves in between as he adds plaintive supporting vocals. The two have crafted a rich yet close acoustic sound that leans into dynamics, nuanced embellishment, and out-of-the box musical changes.

R&R is influenced by modern folk pioneers Watchouse, The Milk Carton Kids, Aoife O’Donovan, and Madison Cunningham- and hearkens back to the 70’s acoustic music of Bread and Joni Mitchell.

In Nov 2023, the duo released their debut EP “Trees and other Relatives” a collection of stories mined from Grace’s lineage. Produced by Alex, the EP has amassed 75,000 streams.

River & Rail is recording their debut full-length album at the Sound Emporium, to be released Spring 2025 under Vere Music.
