Press Kit

You won’t be bored

The Welcoming is a genre-bending rock and/or metal band from Asheville, NC. With a sound that mixes big riffs, soaring vocal melodies, and just enough technicality to keep you on your toes, we make music for fans of bands like Thrice, Cave In, A Perfect Circle, and Coheed & Cambria.

Since starting as the solo project of James Ferrell in late 2021, the band has been busy playing shows, festivals, and weekend tours in multiple states and cities, and our songs have been played on the air in multiple countries.
