From Nashville by way of Boston, The Young Republic visited the Lounge for their fourth session in as many years. Currently signed to Britain’s End Of The Road label, the sextet treated us to a complete set of unreleased material including tracks from their upcoming Balletesque CD, due for an October release. The Berklee College of Music grads honed lead singer Julian Saporiti’s songs in their home studio, and finished recording earlier this year.

Relocated to Tennessee for over a year, TYR plays an eclectic mix of pop, rock and folk that creates their own unique blend of Americana that seems to be increasingly influenced by their surroundings, and reflects Saporiti’s Southern roots. During the interview, in fact, he asserts that all American music is rooted in the South. Listeners will enjoy the rich orchestration of this classically trained band (i.e. these guys can play!) along with Saporiti’s ability to vividly tell a story with his lyrics.
