——

Ci******es @ Sunset are carving out a new sound of their own, proudly calling it Possum Rock
— a raw and soulful blend of Americana, Indie, Appalachian Folk, and Rock. Appalachian raised
and hailing from Boone, North Carolina, the five-piece band channels the rugged beauty and
resilience of their mountain roots into every performance. Frontman Garrett Dellinger (rhythm
guitar, lead vocals), alongside Wells Whitman (bass, backing vocals), Ethan Moore (drums),
Sarah Vann (violin, vocals), and Ryland Bagbey (lead guitar), craft a sound that feels both
familiar and entirely new, weaving fiddle runs, gritty guitar tones, and heartfelt lyricism into
something that defies genre lines.
Their hometown of Boone was deeply impacted by Hurricane Helene in 2024, a moment that
reshaped the band’s perspective and underscored their commitment to making music that
connects and endures. With Possum Rock, Ci******es @ Sunset carry the spirit of Appalachia
forward while pushing boundaries of what modern roots-driven rock can be. Whether on stage
or on record, the band delivers an unfiltered sound built for sweaty venues, open fields, and
anyone searching for something real.

🚨 APPS PRESENTS: YOUNG THE GIANT on their Victory Garden tour, live at the Convocation Center! Tickets will go on sale soon, so stay tuned to our Instagram!!

Young the Giant’s Victory Garden is an ode to radical empathy. Over the past fifteen years, the multi-platinum Southern California band has flourished through distinct sonic eras, progressively solidifying itself as one of the most consistent and influential rock bands of the 21st century. On their sixth full-length album and Fearless Records debut, Victory Garden, Young the Giant reconnects with the core experience of 100% band collaboration, writing and recording together as a unit in one room. Written largely during writing retreats in Idyllwild and Joshua Tree and produced by Brendan O’Brien (Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden) at Henson Studios in Hollywood, Victory Garden is a cohesive album experience that both inspires and enthralls. Lyrically, the album is rooted in radical empathy, showcasing the band’s songwriting instincts at its most immediate and heartfelt. Musically, Victory Garden showcases the seasoned artist’s collective performances at their intuitive height. The result is a prolific record that beckons a new season of creative fertility for the band and presents Young the Giant as confident, refined, and fully inhabiting its voice.
