The Foundry is an anomaly in the Maryland music scene. Justin Patterson and Justin "Jay" Bales have played together for over 19 years, perfecting a sound best described as American folk rock. Covering songs from a wide spectrum of genres, the duo play them with a sound that is a fusion of country, southern rock, and bluegrass. This turns classic, current, and emerging songs into something new and fresh, with a chill energy that people gravitate toward.

Fronting the band, Justin Patterson preforms vocals and acoustic guitar with Jay Bales hand drumming grooves on percussion.
