Chatham Rabbits
The husband and wife team of Austin and Sarah McCombie make up the folk duo Chatham Rabbits. Their musical journey began when Austin spotted Sarah onstage in 2013, opening for Mandolin Orange. With Sarah on banjo and Austin on guitar, they are known for their tight harmonies on originals and old-time mountain songs.
Sarah, a North Carolina native, began her music career with the old-time band, The South Carolina Broadcasters as a lead vocalist and banjo player. For Austin, Southern music always played an essential role in his upbringing. His parents, from Wilmington, N.C., showed him country classics and beach music standards while his relatives in southeastern Virginia immersed him in bluegrass.
