The New Time formed in the fall of 2006 in the heart of Pennsylvania’s former coal belt. Led by Alaskan songwriter John Davidson, the band moved to Philadelphia, expanded its lineup and released a demo EP, With Signs Following, in the fall of 2007. The band teamed up with producer Nathan Johnson (Brick, The Brothers Bloom) in February 2009 to record the EP, An Incomplete History, which the band self-released in July 2009. In August 2009, The New Time relocated to Austin, Texas, where Davidson has assembled a new lineup with Megan Oprea (strings), Justin Cope (bass), Mark Lynch (drums), and Gregg Cornish (keys). This second iteration of the band began playing shows in Austin during SXSW 2010 and is currently working on a debut full-length album.
