Last Pines

Last Pines is an indie folk duo hailing from the wooded outskirts of Asheville, North Carolina, comprised of lifelong friends Riley Carmichael and Morgan Hayes. With their evocative storytelling and lush harmonies, they weave together a soundscape that evokes the melancholy of Southern landscapes and the intimacy of quiet nights spent beneath the trees. Drawing inspiration from classic Americana, their music balances acoustic guitar, sparse banjo, and haunting harmonica, while lyrics touch on themes of longing, resilience, and the beauty of the overlooked.

Debuting in 2022 with their EP “Echoes From the Hollow,” Last Pines quickly garnered attention for their poignant songwriting and heartfelt live performances. Whether performing in backroom bars or open-air festivals, they invite audiences into a world where memory and melody entwine, and every song feels like a whispered secret passed through pine needles.
