Small Joys hail from Eugene, but are well known in the Northwest. Consisting of a familiar acoustic indie combination of guitar, bass and various hand percussion, Small Joys still manage a unique sound heavily reminiscent of late 60′s folk. Olivia Rae’s voice is plaintive without being grating and is well suited to the intimate nature of their songs. Small Joys released their self-titled debut EP in February 2012, and more recently a single “Leaf Let” in September 2012.
