Sons of the East
Sydney folk trio with banjo, harmonies, and songs built for singing back at them — coastal warmth with real craft.
Sons of the East are a folk group from Sydney's northern beaches, built around close vocal harmonies and acoustic instrumentation that leans on banjo and guitar. Their songs tend toward big, communal choruses set against fingerpicked verses, a sound closer to contemporary folk-pop than to traditional revivalism.
The band spent years building an audience through steady touring in Australia and Europe, and their singles have found a substantial streaming audience abroad, particularly across continental Europe. Live, they play up the sing-along element of the material, with the harmonies carried by multiple members rather than a single lead voice.
