The Hedgerow Folk

THE HISTORY

The Hedgerow Folk was formed out of Auburn, AL in 2012 when Jon Myles and Amanda Hammett began leading worship together in their local church. Joined by Bryant Hains, the three began working and writing together, eventually solidifying their group under the name The Hedgerow Folk (taken from a line of a C.S. Lewis poem).

In 2014, they released their first album, Come Close. The heart of this album was to lead people into a time of abiding with the Father, through songs centered around quiet reflection and intimacy with Christ. In April 2017, the band released their second album, a ten song project titled Compass. The heart of this record proclaimed to God that though we may not understand Him, we trust Him. A few months after the release of Compass, the band worked with Old Bear Records in Batavia, NY to create God Who Sees Me, a single released in September 2018. This song is one of hope; an encouragement to believe that we are seen and loved by our Creator.

Their third project, Worth It All, was released in September 0f 2020, reminding us that ease is not the measure of good in our faith journeys. And that our deepest struggles are often the places we commune with God the most.

Their latest single, Come Close (Let Me Hear You Speak), released in March 2022. This song has become a favorite in live settings over the years as they’ve shared it in living rooms and churches throughout the country, and that sound is reflected in the new version. The band was also pleased to release a full-length Christmas album, “Halfway Through the Night” in November 2024.

THE HEART

We see ourselves as more of a ministry than a band in the conventional sense and our desire, above all else, is to be useful in connecting people with the heart of our Father. It is our hope to create art that leads people to slow down, reflect and hear God's voice in their lives so that His glory might be revealed.
