About
The Innocence Mission recently performed at the Tiny Desk concert, showcasing their signature quiet and introspective sound that invites listeners to lean in and savor every note. The trio, with three decades of experience, opened and closed their set with songs from 2018's "Sun on the Square," such as "Green Bus" and "Light of Winter," which beautifully weave Karen Peris' evocative lyrics with Don Peris' intricate guitar work and Mike Bitts' skillful bass lines. The band, formed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1986, consists of Karen Peris, Don Peris, and Mike Bitts, with Karen being the primary songwriter. Their music falls under the indie folk genre, characterized by its tender yet tempestuous themes that leave a lasting impression on the listener.
