Description

You may have heard of Yes the Raven (Alan Mearns) from the 4 Million subscriber YouTuber Rick Beato’s, spotlight video “Unknown Musical Genius” where Beato enthusiastically exclaims…. 

“Alan (Yes the Raven) is one of the finest musicians I have ever worked with! Not only is he a great songwriter and singer; but he’s also one of the greatest guitar players that I know!”   Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Mearns has lived and taught music in Hickory for over twenty years. Alan is now known equally for his incredible classical guitar playing (his recent Bach recording went to #8 on the Classical Billboard Charts) AND

his superb song writing which is known under the moniker Yes the Raven. After COVID-cancellations, Yes the Raven’s beautiful Americana album “Abilene” will finally take flight! 

Listen below for a taste of Yes the Raven in action.

The Hickory High Tornadoes can now add another remarkable accolade to their impressive State Football championship. Recent graduates, 18 year old identical twins Ali & Andi have been described as songwriting phenoms and will display their otherworldly blood-harmonies accompanied by intricate fingerpicked guitars and piano. Fans of everything from Simon & Garfunkel and Joni Mitchell to Kate Bush and Beach House will be blown away. Ali & Andi were born and raised, right here in Hickory. Their prodigious talents were soon recognized and nurtured by Alan Mearns at Hickory Music Factory. Their eponymous first album was produced by Mearns at Blue Moon Soundlab and was aided by a generous grant from the The United Arts Council of Catawba County. 

Ali & Andi are a twin singer-songwriter duo known for their heartfelt originals and unique covers. With their dynamic harmony and intricate fingerpicking skill they produce an ethereal, yet folksy sound that captivates audiences. Their beautiful melodies and deep lyrics help to create a unique listening experience. Be sure to check out their debut album of originals and covers on all streaming platforms!
