The End of America is not some grand political statement – it is a band of friends, singers and travelers who blend three-part harmony with rock and Americana. The Philadelphia-based trio achieves a style that resonates with fans of Ryan Adams, CSNY, and Dawes.
The End of America has performed at festivals including SXSW (BrooklynVegan showcase), Savannah Stopover, Baltimore Folk Fest and shared the stage with Beck, Anthony Green, Gary Louris of The Jayhawks and Rocky Votolato. They’ve also grown quite a New Jersey following, playing twice at the Ross Farm, as well as for Ethical Brew in Bergen County and the Music on Main Street series in Woodbridge.
All frontmen of previous bands, Brendon Thomas, James Downes and Trevor Leonard met on tour in 2005. They went on to form a trio that highlights their vocal chemistry and captures the raw honesty of their performances. The band’s first two recordings, “Steep Bay” and “Shakey,” were tracked live with minimal takes. Just this past summer, they released their first full-length, self-titled album, and they’ve been quite busy touring in support of that album.
In February 2013, The End of America joined Beck in Los Angeles for his “Song Reader” sheet music album release show. Beck discovered TEOA by way of a YouTube video of the band’s interpretation of the song, “Please Leave a Light On When You Go.” The trio’s performance aired live on KCRW and received praise from Spin Magazine, Filter and The Hollywood Reporter.
