The Dear Hunter

About

The Dear Hunter is an American progressive rock band from Providence, Rhode Island, founded by singer and multi-instrumentalist Casey Crescenzo in 2005. The band built its reputation on a series of ambitious concept albums - the six-part 'Acts' saga - that weave a single semi-autobiographical narrative across orchestral arrangements, post-hardcore energy, and theatrical songwriting. Since 2021 they have been developing a second major story arc, 'The Indigo Child', with the latest chapter released as the album Sunya in March 2026.
