Mother Country is here to chronicle the eternal journey home. Their songs carry the grit of Southern folk, the sweep of Americana, and the reflective depth of someone who’s lived a thousand miles of road. The band is founded by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Benton Roark, whose songs have been described as “backwoods-choir elegance” (The Georgia Straight), “dirty-southern-gothic rock-country-folk” (Discorder Magazine), and “an experience of deep and darkling beauty” (The Austin Chronicle). The sound pulls from a wide range of roots: the storytelling spirit of The Band, the cinematic scope of Iron & Wine, the exploratory edge of cosmic country. These threads are woven into something distinctly their own, literary and lived-in, music that asks for your attention and gives back more the deeper you listen.
