The Delines are an American band from Portland, Oregon. Their original line-up was vocalist Amy Boone, Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists) on keyboards, Sean Oldham, Freddy Trujillo, Willy Vlautin (Richmond Fontaine) and pedal steel player Tucker Jackson (Minus 5). The band was formed in 2012 and is self-described as a "retro country soul band".

History

The Delines were formed when singer Amy Boone was touring with Richmond Fontaine and singing the female parts from that band's 2003 album, Post to Wire, which had been performed by her sister Deborah Kelly. Kelly and Boone had been in the Texas band the Damnations. Vlautin then formed the Delines, centred on Boone's evocative world-weary and vulnerable vocals. They gathered in Portland, Oregon with producer John Askew to cut the band's debut album, Colfax. The songs on Colfax, which was released in June 2014, combined Vlautin's admired lyrics about characters from America's hinterland and their everyday struggles, with Boone's vocals, the emotion of which wrings out the pain of the characters. Colfax was well received by the critics and scored 87 on Metacritic with seven positive reviews.

Following the release of Colfax the band embarked on a European tour including shows at the End Of The Road and Kilkenny Festivals. They have since toured in North America and Australasia, and returned to Europe.A second album, Scenic Sessions, was released as a limited edition CD for sale only on the 2015 European tour and from the band's website. This ten-song album had seven songs by Vlautin, a song written by Cory Gray and another by Amy Boone, as well as a cover of Sunshine by Sparklehorse.Amy Boone was involved in a car accident in March 2016 and the band planned to record again when she had recovered.Wikipedia 

The band's second album proper, The Imperial, and a single from the album, "Eddie and Polly", were both released in January 2019.[9][10] They also announced a European tour for the beginning of 2019 including a sold out show at the Union Chapel in London .[11] The Imperial debuted at number 1 for two weeks in the UK official Americana charts and was nearly as well received as their debut album, scoring 84 on Metacritic from six reviews.[12]

The band released their third album The Sea Drift in January 2022, which topped year-end polls in many countries including Heaven magazine in the Netherlands, Americana UK, number 11 in Uncut, top 20 in Rolling Stone France, El Pais and a host of others. They toured the UK three times over that year as well as dates across Europe and Australia including performances at Crossing Border, Kilkenny and Into the Great Wide Open Festivals.

 Richmond Fontaine, Willy Vlautin,se enamoró de la voz de Amy,  al oirle cantar una sola balada, para tomar la decisión de que pasara a formar The Delines. Con la magia de congeniar a las primeras de cambio y después de que le diera a escuchar algunos de los temas que había compuesto justo para ella .  tuvo la enorme suerte, de que a ella le gustó . así fueron los inicioninicios de  The Delines. Sean Oldham de Richmond Fontaine a la batería, Freddie Trujillo al bajo, Vlautin a la guitarra y el multiinstrumentista Cory Gray a los teclados y las trompas.
