BIO
The Incantations fuse rock, folk, and blues into a modern Americana sound shaped by atmosphere and edge. Their music moves between dark and light, guided by haunting melodies and a dreamy rock undercurrent. At the center of their sound is the compelling blend of Lisa Mackie and Ryan Gladding's voices. Distinct on their own, their tones come together in a way that gives the band a unique and memorable vocal identity. Their story-driven writing and melodic focus draw listeners in, supported by guitar tones built on warm, resonant sustain. Joe Garcia's dynamic drumming anchors their shifting intensity with depth and drive. The Incantations craft a cinematic sound that reflects the roads they've traveled and the stories they continue to tell.
