The Eastern Sea is Matt Hines (Vocals/Guitar), Tomas Olano (Vocals/Bass), Jess Graves (Organ/Piano/Vocals), and Zach Duran (percussion). From Austin, TX, The Eastern Sea has "an Iron and Wine kind of feel but with a unique twist that made them a step above other indie artists working to be heard in the folk rock type of genre. It?s not necessarily something you?ve heard all over town, and appealing in it?s individuality" (Austinsound.net).
