New York Times Article
Although they did describe us a “A little dorky,” I still think that somehow gives more cred. If we came off all slick it wouldn’t be quite what we’re projecting either: the earnest, simplicity of feel-good music and the natural blues. The singer lowers his Read More …

The first few times of the season we’re second guessing ourselves a little bit. It’s pretty darn cold. Clifton is just smacking at his strings because he can’t really feel his fingers. Our intonation is sliding around like a game of chutes and ladders. The Read More …
