Vermont-raised and rooted in troubadour traditions of wandering Folk, Delta Blues, reckless Rock, and whiskey-Ragtime Jazz, the now California-based band evokes songs from some bygone era like a dusty leather bound book. Carefully crafted, the trios's songs unfold like short stories - but denser, more poetic - reflections on addiction, inspiration, sacrifuce and personal victories that have garnered both #1 bows on the Billboard Bluegrass charts as well as a truly diehard following.
