Raised in the small, north Mississippi town of Sardis, Sanders Bohlke stumbled onto the music scene somewhat by accident, after recording a folk album in the nearby indie-music hub of Oxford. This self-titled first release was hailed as passionate and praised for its honesty.

That level of honesty is what Bohlke strives for, and his search for it has taken him across some fairly expansive musical territory in the time since he released his debut. He's hit the road, sharing stages with artists such as Badly Drawn Boy, Tom Morello and Gomez and, along the way, compiled an impressive collection of songs -- songs that, in an unusual move, are set for release as EPs and digital singles. Recorded in between friends' studios and his grandmother's basement, upcoming tracks such as 'The Weight Of Us', 'Somewhere', and 'The War' are far from uniform but alike in their diversion from his earlier work - the tone is darker and the instrumentation more complex.

Having already achieved an impressive level of success during his young career, Bohlke feels unencumbered as he prepares new music, and excited to explore new and different directions.
