Off the Mountain, an alt-oldtime duo, combines a driving sound with a modern take on the musical traditions of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Off the Mountain is Aran West, lead vocals, harmonica and rhythm guitar, and Susan Moses, lead guitar, harmonies, and mandolin. Aran grew up listening and singing to WRFG Radio Free Georgia in Atlanta and playing a variety of
instruments (none of them the guitar) until the pandemic brought the threat of layoffs—and a new guitar “just in case.” In contrast, Susan has been playing guitar since the age of six, joining in the Sunday jams with her extended family at her grandma’s house in the North Carolina Piedmont. Susan recently took up the mandolin and she can’t stop playing it! Growing up in the South in the 60s and 70s, Aran and Susan were both naturally influenced by old-time music, bluegrass, country, blues and rock. They make no claim to being songwriters, but once they get a hold of a song it will never be the same.
