FOLK: Folk Pop, POP: Folky Pop



Details:
Three singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, backed by an adroit drummer, crafting evocative songs with engaging arrangements and three voices locked in innovative harmony.
Our songs draw on traditional Americana, filtered through modern alternative pop. Our sound, built around the human voice and acoustic instruments (guitar, dobro, harmonica, mandolin, bass, drums), is tight and direct. Wherever we play, people stop and listen.
