Chicken Little! plays fast songs, slow songs, waltzes and jigs. They sing punk songs like they're folk songs and folk songs like they're punk songs. They write spirituals to be protest songs and protest songs to be broken hearted love ballads. Cuomo is a punk turned folksinger who shouts and croons three chord acoustic songs inspired as much by The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock as by The Blitzkrieg Bop. Emma is a classically trained choral singer & pianist raised in North Carolina on appalachian bluegrass and old time country with a holler to match her vibrato.
Originally from Brooklyn, where Cuomo spent years singing solo in the subways and running off on quixotic tours, the two became a duo in early 2008 when a friend found an accordion on the street and gave it to them. Traveling the south on their first tour together they discovered a burgeoning renaissance in acoustic and roots music and soon after moved to Tennessee to find a place for Brooklyn folk music in the new movement.
Their optimistically titled debut The Sky is Not Falling is available on their website as an online ep or on CD.
Yay! I'm the webmaster for Burnt Bridges Records, so I checked y'all out while adding the fest info to the website. Really love it. I have a 16 yr old son who is a musician & plays some very similar stuff. I think he's gonna really enjoy it.
Yes,yes!I am going to most definitely try.It would be great to see you two play again.I told some of my floormates in my dorm about you guys and if I go I will bring them as well! Hope you have/had a safe trip!
I don't think i'll be able to make it out, because i'm saving money for a solo tour i'm leaving for next weekend. Rusty and Daniel might come though. We all really enjoyed your EP and I hope to get a chance to see you both again soon. Good luck on the rest of the tour!
good, i'm happy you guys enjoyed yourselves. :) i can't wait to hear you play again, you guys are awesome! post a bunch of bullitens when you're coming back down, i'll be sure to go to your shows.
