Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, Bendigo Fletcher are a band that blend the organic sound of folk music with a melodic sense that owes more to indie rock, making music that’s dreamlike and firmly grounded at the same time. Led by singer, guitarist, and songwriter Ryan Anderson, the quintet’s brand of trippy Americana can be witty or passionately sincere depending on the tenor of their songs, and Anderson’s vocals are informed by an emotional honesty that’s as powerful as their music. 2018’s Consensual Wisdom and 2019’s Memory Fever were a pair of EPs that earned Bendigo Fletcher their initial reputation, while 2021’s Fits of Laughter marked their first major-label release, as well as their first experience working with an outside producer.
