Southeast Engine


Southeast Engine’s folk-rock aesthetic emerged from the Ohio underground in 1999. Adam Remnant (lead vocals, guitar) and Leo DeLuca (drums) formed the group, both having attended the same schools in Dayton. Shortly after forming SEE, Remnant and DeLuca moved to Athens, OH, where they immersed themselves in the Appalachian old-time & folk music of the area. From there, Southeast Engine’s sound - a unique hybrid of Dayton’s underground and Athens’ longstanding folk traditions, was born. The esteemed A Wheel Within a Wheel was released in 2007 and followed with 2009’s From the Forest to the Sea. While preserving the signature sound that garnered critical acclaim, Canary (as well as its follow-up Canaanville) also marked a dramatic step forward.

Adam Remnant, Adam Torres, and William Matheny all have since embarked on successful solo careers. Leo DeLuca managed Misra from 2010-2015, which he then left to pursue a career in academia.
