Episode Synopsis

The three women of the Smoky Mountain Sirens all had other things happening in music when they came together in 2019. They started like a lot of bands, covering other artists' songs in local bars. "It was, like, 'oh god,' it just felt like selling our souls for a while," said guitarist and vocalist Aimee Jacob Oliver. But with the pandemic, Oliver, bassist Ashli Rose and drummer Eliza Hill committed to writing and moving forward with their own songs. The Sirens haven't released any recorded music publicly but, with the return of live shows, they're still one of Asheville's most talked-about newer bands.
