Jennifer Rhea Linville and Owen Grooms play heartwarming original and traditional songs on guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle. Jenn grew up in Transylvania County, North Carolina, and has played music here throughout her life’s journey with her family and friends, including the bands Chrysalis and The Woven. Owen plays with Pretty Little Goat and other regional bands, and teaches traditional music through the Transylvania JAM Program. Together, they offer sweet harmonies that bring ease to your soul and a smile to your face. Their debut self-titled album was released in June 2024 and features Jenn’s evocative songwriting and soulful lead vocals, traditional tunes brought to life by Owen’s unique clawhammer banjo style and lead singing, and Jenn’s beautiful harmonies. The duo released their second album, Under the Hawthorn Tree, in June of 2025 which features more instrumentation and guest artists, while keeping the music heartfelt, honest and sincere. Their upcoming album to be released in 2026 is beautifully simple, in that it features only gourd banjo and vocals, and was recorded on tape.
