A duo adding new life and complexity to the concept of a family band, husband and wife Seth and China Kent of Alright Alright create orchestral folk for the open-minded and poetry for the broken-hearted. Though their songs often bear a deep sense of tradition, Alright Alright aren’t afraid to experiment with boundaries, testing the limits of genre and expectations for content. The pair share a genuine love of words, evidenced by their tendency to play with a mix of simple and unique language in elegantly rhymed lines: Muscatine, Muscatine / Why you gotta be so mean? / Pearl of the riverside / in the flood where my brother died. They are often inspired by the rich history of places they visit as well as by familiar haunts in their hometown of Denver, Colorado. From southern industrial towns to street signs to abandoned cars on I-70, there is a sense of rootedness that lends depth and dimension to their songwriting. These songs are as real as your kitchen table. Yet there’s also a striking vulnerability present, an openness and willingness to connect that draws fans from around the world to reach out and feel held by their music.
