Texas Lifestyle Magazine chose The Accidentals as the “band to see” at Austin City Limits, SXSW, calling them defiant, young – powerful, and undaunted.” Female – fronted, multi - instrumentalist power trio, The Accidentals, (Sav Buist and Katie Larson) kicked off 2018 with the release of their debut album, Odyssey, with Sony Masterworks. They followed the album release with two - hundred days of touring nationally, seventeen festivals, sync placement with Turner Classic Movies and F OX sports, and a RAM Trucks BANDvan #tourtough commercial. In 2019 they released a self titled LIVE album and a single with New West Records, and toured the UK. They scored the indie film “ Almost Home”, and taught workshops across the country. The band toured 150 dates, including backing up Keller Williams, Gabriel Kahane, Martin Sexton, on strings. They wrapped 2019 as guest artists with the TSO Orchestra on original pieces they scored and arranged. The Accidentals ushered in 2020 at NAMM, representin g Takamine, Fender, LR Baggs, SBC cases, Shure, Liquid Violins, NS design, Roland, Boss, Dream Cymbals, and D’Addario, followed by Folk Alliance International and SXSW. In 2021 They released TIME OUT, an album of co - writes with legendary writers, Dar Wi lliams, Tom Paxton, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Kim Richey, Maia Sharp, and Gretchen Peters, artists that inspired them to become artists (Wildfire went to #1 at Folk Radio for the year and the album #8) and they finished their much anticipated studio Album, Ve ssel, co - produced by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Lana Del Ray) and Tucker Martine (Nico Case, Decemberists) touring the album all of Oct and November before Covid shut down the live shows again. Their songs Cityview and The Line won first place in the pre stigious USA Songwriting Contest, Songwriter Serenade, and Kerrville Folk Festival competitions. In true Accidentals fashion, they powered through and continued to co - write over zoom and release TIME OUT 2 in the spring of 22, while collaborating with Kab oom Collective Studio Youth Orchestra on the Reimagined Album, allowing the students to score and record thirteen of their back catalogue songs. The Reimagined Album prompted the band to take all forty students on tour for three weeks in the summer of 22, including headlining plays at Mile of Music Festival and a sold out Frederick Meijer Gardens Show. Sav and Katie added String parts to 13 other artists albums between 2020 and 2022 and backed up Keller Williams, Peter Mulvey, Brandan James, and Kim Richey in concert. They are barely taking a breath in 23 as they kick the year off with a covers album spanning their collective interest in women that influenced them, the first single, Blonde’s Heart Of Glass released the end of Jan, and they released and toured the TIME OUT album in March with Gary Burr (Pure Prairie League) Georgia Middleman, and Mary Bragg. They are looking forward to their first SOLD OUT FAN Cruise and Bike Tour in Croatia in June and a packed summer of shows with Katelynn Corll on drum s and occasional bassist/guitarist, Patty Pershayla. Pop Matters Magazine say’s, “you can’t define the Accidentals by comparison to any one band”, comparing them to a mash up of influences including, “Decemberists, Avett Brothers, Beatles, and Brandi Car lile. NPR calls them “some of the most compelling songwriters of our time”. Their music can be found online, all the streaming platforms, Barnes and Noble, and at their shows.
