Our songs are rooted in the places where we were born & raised, & the places we’ve been grafted onto since, & the people & things we’ve seen & cannot forget. We work to make them simple & truthful, & work to make them sweet in the ears of anyone who needs them, whether their luck’s been good & stayed good, or their traveling’s been hard. - Timmy Gallogly
Music to me is something more akin to farming, labor, woodcutting, well digging, carpentry, and the rest of life's toils. Singing is like pruning my apple trees, like
planting garlic, sowing a cover crop for the winter. It is life; it is joy. It offers a connectedness to life for me. - Jonathan Miller
sorry i missed you guys at the Filmore last night. i wish i was able to get out of work early to head out and enjoy the show. i was very down about it. i hope to see you perform soon. yours, jd
Nice to make your acquaintance. I really like your songstories--expansive, really cool stuff. Have you ever read that book Nick Cave wrote called The Ass Saw the Angel? Probably a better title than book, but it's worth a read. Anyway, safe travels! And congratulations on the great Avett shows!
I'm sad I missed your show at the Bug Jar last night, but I got my hands on your CD. Lady and gentlemen, you are epic, and you will be monopolizing my speakers for some time to come.
