The Last Bison

The Last Bison brings its expansive blend of classical-influenced Southern folk rock to Jammin Java, with Adam Agin also performing. The Virginia band combines intricate arrangements, layered vocal harmonies, acoustic instrumentation, world rhythms, ambient textures, and increasingly anthemic rock energy.

Formed in southeastern Virginia, The Last Bison first drew national attention with its 2011 independent album *Quill*, later signing with Universal Republic Records for *Inheritance* in 2013. The band returned to an independent approach for *VA*, recording much of the album in a rustic cabin near the Great Dismal Swamp. Its more recent work, *SÜDA*, broadens the group’s chamber-folk sound with atmospheric passages, international rhythmic influences, and a larger, more cinematic sonic palette inspired in part by vocalist and songwriter Ben Hardesty’s childhood in Bolivia.
