 Formed in the mountains of Asheville, NC in 2003, the Hellsayers consist of Wayne Robbins (writer, singer, acoustic guitar, fuzz), Jeff Whitworth ( electric guitar and lap steel), Jonas Cole ( electric guitar, keyboards), Joe Burkett (bass), and Scott Ernest (drums). The Spring of 2004 saw the recording and release of the Hellsayers debut, "The Lonesome Sea", which garnered the Hellsayers much regional acclaim with it's themes of death, love, religion and mariner's tales...all twisted up in a themed concoction of folk, indie rock, electronica and traditional music. With minimal distribution and exposure, "The Lonesome Sea" refuses to go unnoticed as glowing reviews pour in from all over the United States as well as the Benelux countries, England, Scotland, France and beyond. Aside from reviews, "The Lonesome Sea" has been featured on NPR, The Discovery Channel's Urban Explorers show and has caught the attention of many a like minded act, leading to invitations to share the stage with acts such as My Morning Jacket, Chris Robinson (Black Crowes), Smog, Magnolia Electric Co. and others. Demanding to be heard, Wayne Robbins & the Hellsayers are currently pulling from their 50+ song catalog for inclusion on their 2006 sophomore release...
