The Low Anthem

The Low Anthem is a folk rock trio from Providence, Rhode Island.

The Low Anthem began in Providence in 2006 as a collaboration between Ben Knox Miller, a folk musician and painter from New York's Hudson Valley and Jeff Prystowsky, a jazz bassist and baseball scholar from New Jersey. The duo met at Brown University as on-air personalities for the college's commercial alternative formatted station WBRU.

Having played together since 2002 in various ensembles ranging from rock, to electronica, to classical, their mutual interest in Americana, baseball, and morally agnostic narrative necessitated the formation of The Low Anthem. Dan Lefkowitz, a bluesman from Strasburg, VA joined the band in September 2006 and amicably left the band in March 2007, with his song "This God Damn House" remaining in the band's live repertoire. In November 2007 classical composer and NASA technician Jocie Adams joined the project.

In 2009, the band performed at South by Southwest, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury Festival and the Newport Folk Festival.

The band has appeared on the NPR radio programs All Things Considered and World Cafe. Their album Oh My God, Charlie Darwin was named Album of the Month by Uncut. They are nominated for the 2009 Uncut Music Award.

The band began recording tracks for a new album in an empty pasta sauce factory in Central Falls, RI in December 2009. The as-of-yet-untitled album is rumored to include tour staples "Sally, Where'd You Get Your Liquor From?," "Ghost Woman Blues," "The Blind Lead the Blind," "Smoke Myself to Sleep," and others. Multi-instrumetalist Mat Davidson was also added as a fourth member of the band before the recordings. On January 14th they performed their single "Oh My God, Charlie Darwin" on the Late Show with David Letterman.
