Flyover States

FLYOVER STATES IS THE PORTLAND-based trio of Aaron Elliott, Steven Patton, and Jessica Rose Patton. Together the three explore a wide range of modern folk music centered around rich, complex vocal arrangements and dynamic harmonies, crafting memorable songs full of pathos that stay with you long after hearing them. The band has released three full length albums during their time as a trio. Octaves, the group's first album, was released in 2019 with sophomore album Artifacts released two years later in 2021. Earlier this year, the band released their third album, True North. While still focusing on the band's unique folk sound and signature harmonies, True North explores the changes the band has experienced over the last several years, including marriage, a journey into parenthood, and confronting past trauma. The album won Best Folk/Americana Album of the Year at the PNW Music Awards. The band will be joined by longtime musical friends and Bay Area veterans Steve Gibson on guitars and Jeremy Steinkoler on drums and percussion. "The first time I heard this track from Flyover States, I stopped right in my tracks. Who IS this? The guitar work is sweet and gets the attention right away, but the vocal harmonies are BEAUTIFUL. This is the kind of singing work we just don’t hear on the radio anymore. It’s genuine, organic, and bridges that gap between country, gospel, and folk incredibly well.” (Ear to the Ground)
