Too Worn To Mend
American Beauties full-length debut album “Too Worn To Mend” is available digitally and on CD at cdbaby, or you can stream the record on our “Music” page.
The Band
American Beauties is an original indie folkrock band from Boston, Massachusetts. The music is reminiscent of the LA, San Francisco, and East Coast folkrock bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s and mixes both contemporary and roots influences. The band performs live at local clubs and festivals in the Boston area and indie festivals around the Northeast. The band’s been compared to artist’s such as CSNY and The Jayhawks and conveys the radio-friendly qualities of folk, rock, and pop that these bands are well-known for.
