Live music at Spirits Tavern with Wyatt Espalin

Entertaining audiences in his hometown of Hiawassee, Georgia as early as age eight, Wyatt’s passion for music was obvious, even from the barn room stage built by his grandfather. He and his brother Matt were known as “The Fiddling Brothers.” While Matt hung up his fiddle and bow after high school, Wyatt was just getting started. Armed with a guitar and a desire to write songs, he paired with his friend, Cobi Ferguson to form the acclaimed Americana duo, Trees Leave. Combining electric guitar with traditional bluegrass roots led to a noticeably unique sound and a growing fan base.  After years of writing and touring with the acclaimed Americana duo Trees Leave, it was time for Wyatt to explore a more personal level of songwriting. The Pardon provides ten glimpses into breakups, burdens, colorful britches, and the light on the other side of it all.
