The Delines

A rich blend of soul, country and jazz-tinged Americana, delivered through cinematic storytelling and late-night atmosphere. Showcasing their new and seventh album, The Set Up, the Portland group share songs that unfold like short stories. Hushed horns, keyboards and warm analogue textures sway beneath Amy Boone’s poised, deeply soulful voice, drawing listeners into intimate portraits of drifters, dreamers and the left behind, evoking Dusty Springfield and Rickie Lee Jones. Each song reveals moments of tenderness, danger and quiet resilience, creating an atmosphere that feels both late-night and timeless. They’re led by Amy Boone, alongside acclaimed novelist and songwriter Willy Vlautin, formerly of Richmond Fontaine. The band also features Cory Gray, Sean Oldham and Freddy Trujillo, whose horn, rhythm and keyboard arrangements shape the group’s distinctive sound.
