Sequoya is a Duo from Durham North Carolina. Their sound is like a Steam powered locomotive with whistle blower lyrics. Sequoya speaks for the unspoken ones: the have-nots, the broken spirits, holy ghosts and the devil's children. Their songs also reflect on the tender mercies of love from unusual perspectives such as satellites and space rockets.
“See Sequoya's song "Remember" in the video slide show- "Katy and adopted Jack Russell terrier Steve" here on Oprah.com and read Barry's article "Operation Rescue" in the June issue of O Magazine.”
Barry Yeoman - Oprah.com
“Sequoya masters a technique of story telling through music and song that uses metaphor to put the listener in the shoes of the artist and draws upon common ground in order for the listener to relate.”
Jeremy Blair - Secret Carrboro Ninja Patrol
“This Durham two-piece leaves a big impression with rich vocals that weave in and out of slow acoustic arrangements. Listen for tunes from new record Sleep and Dream of Fire, out now on Subdivision 67.”

“A Durham duo that's mean and lean—just like its raspy-throated, foot-stomper called "Weary"—Sequoya seeks solace in minimal guitars, banjo and purely burning vocals. —KJ”
Kathy Justice - Independent Weekly
“They Bring American folk music into the 21st Century, with songs that will send you into a trance with thoughtful story telling; moody, melodic harmonies; and an enchanting, haunting lead vocal.”
