Few Miles South is a female fronted, national touring country and roots group created by Grammy nominated producer/engineer, Blake English, and classically trained singer, Tori Lund. Dubbed "the country Pretenders" (WSM, Grand Ole Opry Radio), Tori's ethereal vocals are the yin to Blake's “grandiose guitar picking, that even the likes of Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle would be proud of” (The Boot). Thoughtful songs set to nostalgic twang and knee slappin' grooves attract listeners across generations. Their first single "On Down the Road" was awarded HOTDISC Country's Best International Music Video in 2017 and they've since had 3 singles in the Top 10 on UK's HOTDISC Country Radio Chart. Their songs have been featured on PBS and GPB, Fox Sports and Ditty TV, they've performed at festivals including Stagecoach (CA), WE Fest (MN), Red Ants Pants (MT), MusikFest (PA), Jasper Folk Festival (AB), and opened for Shenandoah, Reckless Kelly, Daniel Donato, Eddie 9V, The Kentucky Headhunters, Junior Brown, John R. Miller and more. They have 3 studio releases, a recent 2022 single/music video, "Doggone", featuring collaboration with Grammy/IBMA winning fiddler, Michael Cleveland and plan to unveil a new album in 2023. FMS does all their writing, producing and recording from English's own Southern Fried Studio down in the Georgia pines.
Few Miles South is a female fronted, country and roots group created by south GA raised, Blake English, and Los Angeles native, Tori Lund. The two met in 2014 while playing in an L.A. church. Tori, a classically trained singer and music teacher, and Blake, a multi-instrumentalist, Grammy nominated producer/engineer and owner of Southern Fried Studio, connected over a shared love of country music. They began to write and record songs with intentions to shop them to other artists, but a couple years bonding with their catalog compelled them to wrangle up some local musicians and form a band. Eager to pursue music and ditch the city, Tori and Blake quit their jobs and headed south.
FMS offers a refreshing take on the traditional genre, while "aiming to revive the golden age of Country music" (KCRW, NPR). Tori's ethereal vocals are the yin to Blake's “grandiose guitar picking, that even the likes of Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle would be proud of” (The Boot). Inspired by artists like Hank Williams, Jerry Reed, Emmylou Harris and The Band, thoughtful songs, nostalgic twang and knee slappin' grooves attract listeners across generations. Their first single "On Down the Road" was awarded HOTDISC Country's Best International Music Video in 2017, and they’ve since had 3 singles in the Top 10 on UK’s HOTDISC Country Radio Chart. Live radio and TV performances include ABC and WSM Radio, their songs have been featured on PBS and GPB, Fox Sports, and music videos premiered on Ditty TV, CME (Country Music Entertainment), LocalNow and Nashville Country TV.
“Stick[ing] to the tried and true country backroads” (Skope Magazine) has steered FMS to perform at festivals throughout N. America, including Stagecoach (CA), WE Fest (MN), Red Ants Pants (MT), MusikFest (PA), Jasper Folk Festival (AB), and opened for Shenandoah, Reckless Kelly, The Kentucky Headhunters, Daniel Donato, Eddie 9V, Junior Brown, John R. Miller and more. They have 3 studio releases, Might Could EP (2018), Californ I Aint (2019) and Wiregrass EP (2020), and most recently (May 2022) a hybrid bluegrass single/video, “Doggone”, featuring another collaboration with Michael Cleveland. They are currently at work on their next album while traveling and performing around the US. Blake and Tori pride themselves on handling all their writing, producing and recording together from English's own Southern Fried Studio deep in the Georgia pines.
"Aiming to revive the golden age of Country music."
"grandiose guitar picking, that even the likes of Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle would be proud of."
" The lyricist of the pair, Lund definitely has the country ‘twang’ in her powerhouse vocals and she knows how to use it."
"As Country as it can be. Infectious and upbeat Country music that dives between the Nashville and Oklahoma sound."
"...Bakersfield and Rockabilly, 'Baker-billy'"
"Whereas so much contemporary Country music seems to have caught the pop and rock musical freeway, Few Miles South sticks with the tried and true Country backroads."
"That boy can handle that goddam telecaster and that lil' girl can sing, shit!"
