Cigarettes @ Sunset are carving out a new sound of their own, proudly calling it Possum Rock — a raw and soulful blend of Americana, Indie, Appalachian Folk, and Rock. Appalachian raised and hailing from Boone, North Carolina, the five-piece band channels the rugged beauty and resilience of their mountain roots into every performance. Frontman Garrett Dellinger (rhythm guitar, lead vocals), alongside Wells Whitman (bass, backing vocals), Ethan Moore (drums), Sarah Vann (violin, vocals), and Ryland Bagbey (lead guitar), craft a sound that feels both familiar and entirely new, weaving fiddle runs, gritty guitar tones, and heartfelt lyricism into something that defies genre lines.
Their hometown of Boone was deeply impacted by Hurricane Helene in 2024, a moment that reshaped the band’s perspective and underscored their commitment to making music that connects and endures. With Possum Rock, Cigarettes @ Sunset carry the spirit of Appalachia forward while pushing boundaries of what modern roots-driven rock can be. Whether on stage or on record, the band delivers an unfiltered sound built for sweaty venues, open fields, and anyone searching for something real.
