Alathea (the Greek word for “truth”) was formed
in 1997 in Johnson City, TN. Mandee Radford, Cristi Johnson, and Carrie
Theobald met in college and embarked on their musical journey soon after. After
two independent recordings handled on their own, the trio’s third album, What Light Is All About, was subsequently
picked up by Nashville-based independent Rocketown Records in 2003. In 2005,
Carrie Theobald announced her intent to leave the group, and Alathea was
suddenly a duo. Alathea’s fourth full-length recording, My Roots Grow Deeper, conveys a depth of
thought, insight and care, resulting in a continually expanding community of
supporters.
