Prepare to be surprised when you hear the new music of Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion. Those that expect to hear some type of folk music can be forgiven. After all, Guthrie is the daughter of Arlo and granddaughter of Woody. Those who expect some type of indie rock also must be forgiven, for obvious reasons. But the 12 songs that Guthrie and Irion have released on “Bright Examples” are neither format but an amalgamation of several, perhaps best classified as alt-country or roots rock or simply just indie.

“I think we have been really lucky to have such an underground support of our music that has nothing to do with charts or radio,” said Guthrie when asked if she’s surprised fans support the various sounds she, her husband and entire family create. “That is kind of the ultimate of longevity.”
