In the past two years American roots music has seen a revival in popularity of massive proportions. Artists such as the Dixie Chicks and Nickel Creek have brought this music to an audience that was unimaginable just five years ago. Alathea (pronounced a-la-thea), a name derived from the Greek word for Truth, is a trio from East Tennessee singing their own self-described brand of Popalachian music. A mixture of folk, pop, bluegrass and gospel, these indie darlings bring their third album to a national audience for the Rocketown debut. Fans of the Dixie Chicks and the O, Brother soundtrack will certainly fall in love with this release, as will fans of roots-oriented Christian music such as Caedmons Call, Jennifer Knapp and Bebo Norman. After meeting through their work with Young Life, these three girls began traveling throughout the country, playing for audiences as diverse as they are energetic. Their first two releases have sold thousands of copies, and allowed the girls to maintain a full-time touring and recording schedule for almost five years, playing 150+ dates a year across the country. Drawing upon the musical heritage of their East Tennessee home, What Light Is All About is a stirring collection of songs inspired by the girls own awe of the beauty God has created, as well as a desire to provide an experience that draws listeners to a deeper understanding of God’s presence in their lives.
