with Chatham Rabbits
This month, PBS NC shares the musical journey of Sarah
and Austin McCombie in the new series On the Road with
Chatham Rabbits. Premiering May 5, the series follows the
couple as they chase their dreams of making it in music.
Breaking into the music industry isn’t easy. In 2018 Sarah and
Austin made the tough decision to resign from their jobs as
a Montessori teacher and financial advisor, respectively, to
pursue their music careers full-time. That same year, PBS
North Carolina met Chatham Rabbits in Chapel Hill as they
worked on their debut album. Faced with the challenge of
balancing the costs of living and chasing their dreams, they
considered selling their home and moving into an RV with
their cat Biscuit and dog Ruby to save on expenses.
That all changed when Chatham Rabbits were featured
on My Home, NC and performed live in our studios. Their
traditional folk sound, complete with clawhammer banjo and
sweet harmonies, captured our audience’s attention. Thanks
to fans from PBS North Carolina, the McCombies moved
forward in their career.
