    Palmyra Announces Debut Album 'Restless'

    Rising Virginia trio Palmyra have announced their debut album for Oh Boy Records. Restless, will be out on March 28th and is available for pre-order today. To mark the occasion, the band has released the first single, titled “Shape I’m In,” along with a live performance video of the song. The track is a centerpiece of the album and was the band’s submission for the Tiny Desk Concert in 2024 which led NPR to naming them one of their ‘Best New Artists’. “Shape I’m In,” is a mind map that band member Sasha Landon wrote as they began to navigate their bipolar diagnosis. Every verse includes a new apology—their face, their demeanor, their tone. But as the song builds to a climax fit for vintage Bright Eyes, it becomes clear that it’s also a call for acceptance, to be taken not as an error but simply as they are.

  • October 22, 2024 Oh Boy's First Trio: Palmyra
    Oh Boy's First Trio: Palmyra

    Established in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, Palmyra showcases the talents of Sasha Landon, Teddy Chipouras, and Manoa Bell. Through their unique blend of traditional folk string instruments, lush harmony, and earnest songwriting, they earned a spot on NPR's “Best New Artists of 2024”. Their sound, often described as a distant cousin to The Avett Brothers and the Wood Brothers, nods toward Appalachian and Midwestern Americana, with intricate arrangements that create the illusion of a full, larger-than-three ensemble. 


    “We’re so excited to welcome Palmyra to Oh Boy! The energy and vitality of their performances grab you right away, but what really stays with you is the depth of their songwriting -  songs that tackle the struggle to make sense of yourself and the world around you. I think they’ve been able to resonate with audiences so deeply because of the honesty and vulnerability in their songs. This is music that is much needed in the world.” - Jody Whelan, Managing Partner, Oh Boy. 

    "Since its inception with John, Oh Boy has always championed honest, intentional, damn good songwriting, and we are honored that they're holding us in that same reverence as the folks we look up to - Arlo, Dan, Kelsey, Swamp Dogg, Tre, Emily, and of course, John. What a gift." - Palmyra

    Belladonna is available now with new music coming in 2025!

    You Got Gold Raises $300K For Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief

    You Got Gold 2024 raised $300,000 to support disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

    A portion of the funds will directly benefit individuals who have experienced significant loss due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, including low-income families with children and hospitality workers who have lost wages in the Gulfport, Florida area, where the Prine family has maintained a home for decades.

    Additional organizational grants will be made to local and regionally-based organizations doing on-the-ground work in the Southeast, particularly in the hardest hit areas of east Tennessee, western North Carolina and the Gulfport area of Florida, to assist those most impacted by the storm. 100% of net proceeds from You Got Gold, including ticket and merch sales along with all donations, will benefit disaster relief. The foundation will continue actively directing funds toward these efforts through the end of the year, and donations can be made by visiting thehellointherefoundation.org.

    “We are continually floored by the generosity of John’s fans. For the past three years, this community has gathered together to celebrate John’s music and legacy and this year was no different. We are so grateful for the continued support and contributions made on behalf of John, and we are so fortunate to be able to help so many people in need through the great work of the Hello In There Foundation.” - Fiona Prine
