Los Angeles, CA, USA

First active musically as a teenager in Louisville’s underground punk scene, Rinehart's first band Flight Nineteen played with seminal underground acts like At The Drive In, Joan of Arc, Avail & Hot Water Music. His first solo album “Memories Are Hunting Horns," released in 2010 under the pseudonym “Saredren Wells”, showcased a new and very different direction, placing him alongside off-kilter folk artists like Daniel Johnston, Sufjan Stevens & Bonnie “Prince” Billy. Relocating to New York City in 2010, Rinehart co-founded both The Body Actualized Center, a DIY arts space in Brooklyn, and the "new age boy band" Splash, whom he toured the US with in the Summer of 2012. Turning his attention back to solo work in 2013, Rinehart released “The Funeral Home Sessions,” a 3-song EP of tributes to Fugazi, Neil Young, & folk legend Elizabeth Cotten. Following that in 2015 Rinehart released "Nothing/Everything,” a 15-song double album LP released on Los Angeles label Buddyhead Records.
