Our Name

We named our band after the wild rabbits that once ran rampant in Chatham County, North Carolina. Over a century ago, rabbits were the prized cash crop. Folks would come from all over to hunt and harvest the rabbits. Many decades later, we bought mill house in Bynum, North Carolina, on the banks of the Haw River. The house was once the home of a mill working family. They played music and the husband was a member of the mill-sponsored stringband, The Chatham Rabbits. You can read more about the original band and Bynum here.
“Nothing that falls a victim to the hunter’s gun throughout the entire confines of North Carolina can compare with the Chatham rabbit.”
