Durham's Delta Rae recognized for their diverse musical capabilities

"It is impressive how Delta Rae is gaining popularity without being an over-produced and marketed group. They are a true force in the music industry as they popularize a genre that is becoming more relevant every day. The cohesion of their instrumentals and vocals proves that Delta Rae is a force to be reckoned with."

Salt Lake Tribune Makes Durham Connection

David Burger from The Salt Lake Tribune recognized what Durham residents have known for years. Folk-rock band Delta Rae and jazz-musician Branford Marsalis share more than music in common. "As music writers, we search for connections between musicians, no matter how threadbare. Delta Rae band members and Marsalis live in Durham, N.C."

- Salt Lake Tribune "Branford Marsalis and Delta Rae come from Durham to demonstrate Carolina intensity"

The Morning Call - Delta Rae

"Delta Rae has had a roller coaster year. A couple years ago, it was a four-piece vocal group cutting its teeth in Durham, N.C. Only months ago, it was signed by the legendary record executive and talent scout Seymour Stein of Sire Records (Ramones, Talking Heads, Pretenders, Madonna). The group has been in full gear ever since, recording its debut album, "Carry the Fire," touring coast to coast and performing on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno about a month ago."

Rolling Stone - Delta Rae

"Durham, North Carolina-based six-piece Delta Rae are set to release their debut album, Carry the Fire, on Sire Records. The group, which infuses rich four-part harmonies with blues, country and rock, is on tour through the summer in support of the album."

Washinton Post - Delta Rae

 "When you are in a six-piece band that features four lead singers and three siblings, you would think that things would get complicated, right? Not so for Delta Rae, the North Carolina-based group performing at Sixth and I Synagogue on Tuesday. After a year of touring and releasing a five-song EP in 2010, the band just released a new single, “Bottom of the River,” an intense movement that has drops of blues, soul and rock. Brothers Ian and Eric Hölljes talked with Click Track about using Kickstarter to fund their new LP, keeping the sibling rivalry at bay, and how even the creation of their band name was a family affair."
