The Violet Nines are a vibrant outfit from Minneapolis, MN that play groove pop; alternative fused with funk, rock and R&B.
After a music video of the band performing <a href="spotify:track:0Fc0dSQVJKpgMsV2V5tKFP" data-name="Let Me Hold On">Let Me Hold On</a> on a boat - while playing guitar and surfing simultaneously - caught circulation, The V9s were heard across the U.S. on independent and college radio.
Dave Franklin of Dancing About Architecture describes the group as, “Smooth and sensual but also confident and commercial, the pitch perfect between chart territory and a more interesting, more underground roots world.”
Since emerging from 2020, the band has forged a new sound around the show-stopper addition of Hayley Lewis (a.k.a <a href="spotify:artist:0HAEUkIxOrqjx1xLjnbDUQ" data-name="Corzine">Corzine</a>). Singing lead vocals alongside Nick Eagon on guitar, Austin Kurtz on drums, Benjamin Cline on keys & saxophone and Delon Smith on bass, The Violet Nines have made a name for themselves for their multi-fronted approach (something like <a href="spotify:artist:5rwUYLyUq8gBsVaOUcUxpE" data-name="Lawrence">Lawrence</a> but more <a href="spotify:artist:59oA5WbbQvomJz2BuRG071" data-name="Jungle">Jungle</a> or <a href="spotify:artist:7gP3bB2nilZXLfPHJhMdvc" data-name="Foster The People">Foster The People</a> sonically).
The Violet Nines connect with listeners through electric performances (vis a vis their album <a href="spotify:album:6HFAsPTpyi3ZVBvO81X48J" data-name="Live at First Avenue">Live at First Avenue</a>). 2021 has found the band busy. They unleashed <a href="spotify:album:7hTiQDc2t1xRDw02S3POWG" data-name="Baby">Baby</a> and <a href="spotify:album:2t1N3eAHe3MeDNOvwK9iXF" data-name="Dead Wrong">Dead Wrong</a>, toured with <a href="spotify:artist:5GF3JcY2h0SUPkDlo7ByCB" data-name="Caleb Hawley">Caleb Hawley</a> and now they're onto their biggest release to date - <a href="spotify:album:00m4u2Y3mBshF14BWUblk4" data-name="Dancing with Fire">Dancing with Fire</a>. That's not all, The Violet Nines are building to something big; to be unveiled this fall.
