Artist Info: Over a decade ago, singer/songwriter Ray Vietti first encountered Los Angeles transplant, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alex Salcido. The two soon came to recognize each other as kindred spirits in both vision and song, and began creating a universe in which The Harmed Brothers would tell their stories.

Today, after 4 albums and a decade of non-stop touring, The Harmed Brothers are finally putting down roots. On the muddy banks of the Ohio is the quaint river town of Ludlow, Kentucky, where Alex, Ray and their band have made a home. While just a stones throw from the metropolis of Cincinnati, it somehow feels a world apart.

Here, their 5th LP, Across the Waves, was born and recorded in Cincinnati’s historic Herzog Studios—a hallowed musical sanctum where the songs of Hank Williams and Flatt & Scruggs still echo.

Across the Waves shines with The Harmed Brothers strongest songs to date; the collective wisdom of two songwriters beginning new chapters in their lives, working through ghosts, doom and existential hang-ups, yet somehow secure in their kinship.

What is most striking here is the progression of The Harmed Brothers from a banjo/guitar duo 10 years ago, to the fully realized Indie Rock/Americana band that they are today. Across the Waves is the document of that process. It’s an album that can only be born of a band that has spent years growing together—traveling the world, confined to a broken down van, eventually settling down and making a home. The Harmed Brothers have grown up together.
