Details:
Here is the first in a series of projects by Still Valley, the musical moniker of one Chris Branaman, a deft instrumentalist and songwriter from the back roads of Medora, Indiana. Here he beautifully and bravely incorporates elements of banjo, acoustic guitar, keyboards, Fender electric, vocal percussion effects and pizza pan to create an evocative landscape of lonely sound.

Four instrumentals and six vocally-driven songs take you through 28 minutes of Branaman's musical vision, his Midwestern roots, and his varied spectrum of influences.
