Wayward Vine is a Boston-based Americana and indie-folk band led by core songwriters and co-vocalists Valerie Rachel and Greg Lawrence. Together with their band, they perform harmony-based originals that explore lyrical themes of heartbreak, obsession, and the wide range of emotions involved in family relationships, and their music is often compared to The Head and the Heart, 10,000 Maniacs, and The Civil Wars.
Valerie Rachel is a classically trained vocalist, violinist, and pianist who is known for her haunting harmonies and fiddle playing in various Americana and country bands around the region, appearing with Kier Byrnes & The Kettle Burners, Muhammad Seven & The Spring, and others. Greg Lawrence is originally from Canada and comes from a long family history of folk singer-songwriters.
Described by Rock and Roll Fables as having an “...undeniable electricity that manifests these enchanting aural odysseys that are just soaked with a sort of down home Indie Folk meets Americana goodness...“, Wayward Vine has also received international attention from the Australian publication Broken8Records, which lauded their single “Narcissist’s Disguise” as a “captivating blend of indie folk and Americana… that belies the sometimes somber and soul-stirring lyrics.”
Fresh off performing live at the New England Americana Festival at Bellforge Arts Center this past June, and the release of a string of captivating singles that dates back to last year, Wayward Vine is set to release debut album The Fall in September 2025.
