Meet DASHER, a brother/sister duo, comprised of Max and Laela Dasher who make their home in the heart of Appalachia, Black Mountain, North Carolina. But before there was Appalachia, there was Northeast Louisiana. Max and Laela’s childhood was filled with screened-in-porch summer nights, where bluegrass ballads met the sweltering heat of the bayou. At a young age, Max and Laela learned perhaps the most important skill that any band can learn- they learned to blend. Blend their instruments, blend their harmonies, and blend their stories.
