Club 321: Featuring Splendid Torch

Artist: Splendid Torch Massachusetts’ own Splendid Torch brings a bright, upbeat sound rooted in Indie rock and Americana traditions. Longtime collaborators with undeniable chemistry, the foursome crafts songs with lush lyricism and infectious energy. Fiddle and mandolin weave together with guitars, bass, and drums to deliver a full sound rich with spontaneous energy. Come for the bluegrass, stay for the vibes. Splendid Torch brings rootsy energy to Club 321 fans! Massachusetts-based band Splendid Torch dwells in spontaneity and synthesis, conjuring an unexpectedly broad sound from just four musicians. Lily Sexton (lead vocals, fiddle, guitar), Sean Davis (acoustic & electric guitar, vocals), and Josh Ballard (bass), were once known as progressive bluegrass group Mamma’s Marmalade, which toured for ten years. After a lineup and genre shift in 2024, the three departed– along with Karl Helander (drums and percussion)– on a lengthy west coast tour which served to crystallize their Americana, country, and indie styles into what is now Splendid Torch. Splendid Torch calls on textured & curious lyricism, collective rhythmic feel, & poignant vocal performances that evoke their varied influences, from Emmylou Harris and Tammy Wynette to Kurt Vile and The Band. Their debut album ICON was released on May 9th, 2025.
