Exception To The Rule April 3, 2010

Exception To The Rule, refuses to be bound by genre rules as they write and perform original music. Driven by riveting live shows, compelling lyrics, innovative arrangements, and soulful harmonies, they create a refreshingly bold sound that can only be described as the “exception to the rule.”

Exception To The Rule draws inspiration from a variety of musical styles to create their own unique sound. Laura's hard-driving banjo style, self-described as a hybrid of Earl Scruggs and Ron Block, is the cornerstone, while Kayla’s sultry violin and mandolin solos add elements of classical, jazz, blues, and rock. Their vocals range from Jason’s Johnny Cash-like solos to four-part sibling harmony.

Listeners of all ages are delighted with a mix of original numbers; traditional bluegrass, rock and country favorites; driving instrumentals; and good-natured humor. Whether paying homage to their musical roots by covering a classic or sharing some insight in an original song, these charismatic young artists craft their style based not on what's popular at the moment, but on what they love – and that makes them the… Exception To The Rule.
