Led by multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriters Kristi Casey and Steven Glude, Mayberry Wine creates unique, modern songs for Luvers that feel nostalgic — a genre they call “Amerikindness.” This duo’s passionate, thoughtful music ranges from loungecore Americana, Western swing, indie folk and swamp jazz to alt-country, blues and bossa nova.

Hailing from North Georgia, these childhood friends bring an easy, playful energy and intimate chemistry to the stage. With a catalog of more than 200+ original songs, they carefully curate each concert experience. You might have seen them at Eddie’s Attic, Canopy + the Roots, Sautee Center, Athens Porchfest or the FoxSaid Festival. They are recording their debut album and booking regional tour dates.
