What's a We're About 9?

"Musical prowess, careful writing, an engaging stage presence, and dynamic vocals that blend or stand alone."  - SingOut! 

We're About 9 is modern folk music trio featuring brainy and emotionally-connected songwriting, captivating vocal harmonies, and impromptu fun at shows. 

You may know WA9 from their main stage performances at over a dozen festivals (Falcon Ridge, Kerrville, Four Corners, Philadelphia), from their two NERFA formal showcases (2002, 2011), or from Folk DJ favorites like Nobody Flying, Writing Again, and Albany. 

2025 Update: Our song will be prominently featured in a theatrical release in May 2025. The film won huge accolades on the film festival circuit, is directed by a genius, features some of our favorite a-list actors, and is an adaptation from one of the most famous authors in the world. 

What song? What film? Stay tuned—we'll tell you more soon!
