On Friday, February 24, Chatham Rabbits make their long-awaited App Theatre debut. No Depression, the Journal of Roots Music, said, “When you see this NC folk duo on stage, you’re getting the real deal: heartfelt lyrics… an instant connection with audiences, and banter that can only come from a married duo that spends way too much time together but still manages to be in love.” As one of North Carolina’s most beloved roots music outfits, Chatham Rabbits swiftly emerged from the fertile Americana scene in the Triangle. The husband-and-wife team of Sarah and Austin McCombie favors rustic, minimalist acoustic arrangements—mainly clawhammer-style banjo and guitar that showcase deftness and maturity with their songwriting. The duo has a way of connecting with their audiences that is warm and universal.
