Our Sound

The Fallen Stars are an Americana Rock band.  Blending their country folk storytelling with the backbone of rock and roll.  Often compared to the Civil Wars, The Mastersons as well as Wilco and The Replacements.  

"Somewhere between the wide-open stretches of Gram Parson's beloved Mojave Desert and the decaying cityscapes frequented by Bruce Springsteen shine the Fallen Stars." ~The Orange County Register
