New Music Exclusive Artist: The Reliques

Pronounced “relics”, the band grew out of a friendship that began at the University of Texas. Their newest release, To Feel and Be Loved, was recorded by Caedmon’s Call’s own Joshua Moore. The project is a lively jam session featuring a cavalcade of eclectic instruments such as mandolin, banjo and accordion in addition to electric and acoustic guitar.  The songs seamlessly blend Monteen’s strong, smoky voice with Dossey’s nightingale sweet soprano and attests to years honing their timing and musicianship. Collectively, their musical influences range from Mum- ford & Sons to Paul Simon and even include such female vocalists as Jewel and the Dixie Chicks. The Reliques have opened for nationally touring acts Shane and Shane, Phil Wickham and Derek Webb. “We do music because it’s in our souls and we can’t help but do it. This is what God has put in us— we just hope when the music hits people they are stronger because of it.”
