TopHouse

TopHouse is a Montana-raised Americana/Folk band, currently located in Nashville, made up of Jesse Davis, Joe Larson, Will Cook, and Andy LaFave.

The band began as a duo in 2015 when two Music Composition majors at the University of Montana, guitarist/songwriter Jesse Davis and violinist William Cook, realized they loved playing music together. Joseph Larson, a singer, songwriter, and guitar/banjo player, joined the band in 2016. The addition of Joseph vaulted TopHouse to local fame, with The Missoulian naming TopHouse one the top 5 best new bands.

TopHouse moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2019. In 2020, they wrote, recorded, and released their second album, Snapshot, and in 2021 they were invited to be the house band for Tennessee Brew Works. In 2022 when pianist Andy LaFave joined the band. They are currently working on their newest music release.
