The Deacon Raleigh St. James Band's sound ranges from alt-rock and punk to honkytonk, with sprinkles of psychedelia. Three part harmonic vocals lock in at times, and then weave around each other like tendrils of smoke. Deacon Raleigh is a homegrown singer-songwriter, self taught on guitar. Both he and NY transplant Dani-Rad call the bucolic Snoqualmie Valley home. Dani started singing and drumming early as the daughter of two musicians. She fell in love with the footlights at Carnegie Hall before moving out west to raise a family. Deacon and Dani's friendship formed via underground jams at dives, and riverside festivals in the woods. Eric Hoglund, dad, man of mystery, denizen of Greenwood, and trained audio engineer, joined them on bass in the summer of 2019.

Each song a story, a small universe unto itself; the plot twists, the river bends.
