Backstory

Haunting Straw was formed in a small town in the heart of Indiana, where its members grew up together. Initially, four typical high school friends, they started their musical journey playing in their school’s talent shows. However, it wasn’t until they discovered an old barn filled with abandoned instruments that their hobby turned into a passion. They began to learn and experiment with the various instruments. As they practiced, they found their distinctive sound resonating through the straw scattered barn, which eventually led to the name of the band, ‘Haunting Straw.’

As their music progressed, they began to tour locally in Indiana and saw growing popularity. Their fame reached new heights when they were discovered by a talent scout during one of their shows, who signed them to a reputed recording label. The rest, as they say, is history.

Genre

Haunting Straw plays a unique blend of Folk Rock with elements of Country.

Title

“Whispers Through The Straw”

Full Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Em C G D
“Under the moon we found our song,
Em C G D
In an old barn, where we belong,
Em C G D
The melody arose with the dawn,
Em C G D
Echoing whispers through the straw.”

[Chorus]
Em C G D
“Oh, the straw, it speaks to us,
Em C G D
In tunes of loss, and songs of trust,
Em C G D
We strum the strings and beat the drum,
Em C G D
The haunting straw, where we come from.”

[Verse 2]
Em C G D
“With every note, we tell our tales,
Em C G D
Of summer dreams and winter gales,
Em C G D
Our music, like a calming balm,
Em C G D
Born from whispers through the straw.”

[Chorus]
Em C G D
“Oh, the straw, it sings with us,
Em C G D
In harmonies of hope and rust,
Em C G D
We strike the chords and silence hums,
Em C G D
The haunting straw, to it we run.”
