Introducing ... Ghosts of Liberty

https://youtu.be/3nGgfQHSDUU?is=HakX_hviCwkOiP7-

Ghosts of Liberty is a foothills, North Carolina based band consisting of husband & wife duo Emma Millard (Lead Vocals) Tyler Millard (Vocals, Guitar) and Tyler’s father Rich Millard (Keys).

While described to me as Americana folk-rock I would locate the music of the Millards three squarely in a modern country music dynamic. I may find out differently when seeing them on stage, that does happen, but their music available online has the consistent themes family, naturalism and celebration of personal expression often found in country music. It's also clear to me that at least some of their music, like Daddy's Daughter or the above-linked Roanoke River, would be right at home in TV shows like Yellowstone that draw on many of the same themes.

There is a bittersweet backdrop to Ghosts of Liberty. Emma's husband, Tyler, has a degenerative retinal disease which makes his continued engagement in music, and the raising of their two children, truly something to admire. A lot of strength is present in Ghosts of Liberty and it's not just in Emma's soaring vocals. We are looking forward to seeing them live at Carolina Indie Fest at 6:15pm on Friday, Sept 25th.
