Some things are just meant to last. When Sarah Anderson and Paul DeHaven met and began playing together in 2004, they had no idea just how deep the well of their musical partnership would prove to be. After the disbanding of indie-folk sweethearts Paper Bird, the duo founded Heavy Diamond Ring and never looked back. HDR is the culmination (thus far) of their signature sound, a fountain of open-hearted, folk-rock, steeped in vocal harmony and group synergy. Led by Anderson's smooth-as-honey vocals and DeHaven's rugged guitar chops, the band has been described as "open-road, long drive music", having "a little bit of twang, and a whole lot of beef”, and their live show as "infectious and contagious". The band is rounded out by veteran knockouts Blake Stepan (bass), Mike Lang (keys), and Orion Tate Ignelzi (drums).

"Heavy Diamond Ring creates a sound that feels as classic as rolling down the windows in the summer - a super highway to a new frontier." -303 Magazine

​
"...a helping of contemporary indie-folk that goes down easy, augmented by some subtle, snaky guitar work, walls of harmony vocals and Anderson's attention-grabbing vocals." -CS Indy

New album, Work, is now out on Gitcha Records!
Lean EP out 5/16/2025, is Bison Bone’s newest 3 song EP. Bison Bone’s frontman, Courtney Whitehead writes these songs about “everyday life and not the romantically metaphorical, the beauty in the simple moments.” “It was all cut live in the studio together in one room with very little overdubs or comps."
“Warm and full of heart, “Lean” feels like the kind of song that drifts through the air at a summer cookout, where the drinks are cold, and the company is good. Denver’s Bison Bone delivers a sound that blends country rock with a touch of classic Americana, beneath lyrics built on love, resilience, and devotion. There’s a Springsteen-like earnestness to it, a sense of hard-won joy.” – 303 Magazine
