Recently signed to Cherrytree Records/Interscope, seven-piece sibling band The Hunts, have been playing music together almost their entire lives. Ranging from ages 16 to 24, twin sisters Jenni and Jessi and their five brothers Josh, Jonathan, Jordan, Justin, and Jamison all learned to sing and play violin as young kids and spent much of their childhood in Chesapeake, Virginia performing throughout their community. After teaching themselves to play instruments like mandolin, piano, ukulele, banjo, and drums, the band began experimenting with songwriting and soon brought to life a batch of indie- folk songs that reveal their sophisticated sense of melody and dreamy innocence. Check out the video for lead single “Make This Leap” HERE. With Josh and Jenni taking turns as lead vocalist, The Hunts sustain that dynamic throughout their debut EP Life Was Simple, out now, often turning their shared memories into songs that capture heartache and wonder with a wide-eyed but wistful elegance.
