Some things are just meant to last. When Sarah Anderson and Paul DeHaven met and began playing together in 2004, they had no idea just how deep the well of their musical partnership would prove to be. After the disbanding of indie-folk sweethearts Paper Bird, the duo founded Heavy Diamond Ring and never looked back. HDR is the culmination of their signature sound: a fountain of open-hearted folk-rock, steeped in vocal harmony and group synergy.

Led by Anderson's smooth-as-honey vocals and DeHaven's rugged guitar chops, the band has been described as "open-road, long drive music," having "a little bit of twang and a whole lot of beef,” and their live show as "infectious and contagious." The band is rounded out by veteran knockouts Blake Stepan on bass, Mike Lang on keys, and Orion Tate Ignelzi on percussion. Last fall’s second full-length LP, All Out of Angels, produced by Ben Wysocki and Mark Anderson, features a duet with Nathaniel Rateliff.

Here’s what others are saying about Heavy Diamond Ring:

"Heavy Diamond Ring creates a sound that feels as classic as rolling down the windows in the summer - a super highway to a new frontier." - 303 Magazine


"...a helping of contemporary indie-folk that goes down easy, augmented by some subtle, snaky guitar work, walls of harmony vocals and Anderson's attention-grabbing vocals." - CS Indy
