The band will perform during Greening Up the Mountains at 3 p.m. Saturday, April 27, on the Main Street Stage in downtown Sylva. Later that evening, the group will hit the stage at 7 p.m. at Frog Level Brewing in Waynesville.

“From the get-go, it’s just been about making good music together. I think fun is undervalued in adulthood, and creating music is a ton of fun,” said guitarist/vocalist Nathan Folse. “It’s exciting because it feels like any musical idea is fair game, so long as we can all agree — it’s a good tune. What we end up with is music we’re proud of and excited to share. 

The quintet is currently working on its debut EP, which will be released later this year. A full feature on the Fuzzy Peppers will be in a future issue of The Smoky Mountain News.
