Native Harrow

Philly-based Native Harrow have remained largely independent - musically, professionally, and aesthetically, since their beginning, meticulously crafting and perfecting a sound that is melded together from pieces of folk, soul, and rock nʼ roll. On September 13th, they released their new album Divided Kind. This album is the lifetimeʼs work of two scholars of music whose individual backgrounds in the arts have forged a strict artistic discipline that exists in sharp contrast to the more traditionally laissez-faire world of rock and popular music. Pre-save Divided Kind here. Over a catalog of six albums, Native Harrow have produced a discography of “rich, engrossing records” and “instant classics” while single-mindedly following their own artistic code, acquiescing only to the exigence of the song: each song its own world with its own rules. Their original perspective and extraordinary songwriting, combined with a completely individual approach to crafting albums and steering their career, has garnered them coverage at Uncut, Mojo, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, The Line of Best Fit, Paste, American Songwriter, The Bluegrass Situation, Holler, Rough Trade, Telegraph, The Evening Standard, The Times, Shindig, The Sun, and many more. Theyʼve shared stages with legends including theE agles, Robert Plant & Alison Kraus, and Beth Hart, as well as acts including Sierra Ferrell, The Heavy Heavy, Courtney Marie Andrews, The Cactus Blossoms, Great Lake Swimmers, Esme Patterson, and more.

Armed with earnest lyricism and her acoustic guitar, Mae Krell’s branch of indie-folk personifies the often overlooked emotions that come with the human experience. After starting out as a freelance photographer (with credits at Sony RCA and Rolling Stone Magazine), Mae realized that she had a story that needed to be told from somewhere other than behind the camera. Now five years into her journey as an artist, Mae is a firm believer in making music that feels authentic to her own experiences, aiming to express her innermost thoughts with every song she writes. With the help of producer and multi-instrumentalist Jakob Leventhal, Mae’s unique sound offers a perfect cushion for deeply vulnerable discussions of mental health and the struggles that plague daily life. Following the success of her 2020 single “garden”, Mae’s latest releases: the imposter syndrome EP and the subsequent imposter syndrome (b sides) revel in poignant and honest evaluations of the world through her eyes. Mae’s genuine lyricism and fierce desire to break the shame barrier and stigma around mental illness has resonated far and wide as she spent the summer of 2022 on a nationwide tour in partnership with Sofar Sounds, and more recently supported Ethan Jewell on his "Lonely Together Tour". In addition, Mae was one of the 2022/2023 recipients of the LGBTQ+ Emerging Artist Award from Live Nation’s Music Forward Foundation in partnership with CitiBank, which offers just 15 recipients each year with a grant to support their creative artistry.
