About Violet and the Undercurrents

This four-piece, all female band has been described as "sophisticated folk-rockers" (Columbia Daily Tribune). Based in Columbia, they are a power house of inventive and creative energy. Their influences range from jazz, vocalists, and indie rock. With classically trained vocalist Violet Vonder Harr at the helm and Phylshawn Johnson's and Linda Bott's years of jazz and indie rock involvement, to Suzuki cellist Caitlin Lukin, the girls bring a lot to the musical table.

Violet and the Undercurrents released their first full-length album, "Hour After Hour" on the Nation of Love record label in July of 2013. The Undercurrents have played to audiences in over 10 states and countless cities across the country. In 2014, the Undercurrents successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign for a month-long tour through the Western U.S. in April and released their newest full length album, "WAVES", which was listed on 90.1 KKFI (Kansas City) Mark Manning's top 114 albums of 2014. Other notable recognition includes being nominated for Inside Columbia's 2015 Best Band and approved for an official "Violet and the Undercurrents" Pandora Station.
