Haley Blais and Sam Lynch unite as True Mountain Laurel, a supergroup born from late-night harmonies, voice memos, and friendship. Their debut project, Angel So Bad, blends Sam’s poetic introspection with Haley’s sharp lyrical intimacy into dust-swept folk-country songs that capture longing, growth, and connection. What began as casual writing sessions evolved into a collaborative ritual: trading lines over coffee, recording scrappy demos, creating music free from pressure or pretence. Influenced by Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, and early 2000s Canadian singer-songwriters, their warm, minimal sound (acoustic guitars, brushed drums, pedal steel) feels intimate, honest, and alive, both on record and in performance.
