The time-honored art of nomadic wandering is one not celebrated too heavily in recent time and memory. Luckily, this is more virtue than shortcoming; for once you look deep into the eyes of a true drifter those old hobo feelings rush right back. Run around the country and get on by any means necessary, surely this is a place where true music comes from. “I lied, I cheated, I stole, and then I wrote about it. It’s a bit more glamorous now. Just ask my band.” James Apollo, a hardened character who has seemingly been on the road since the age of sixteen, speaks with a voice universal to all ideals of searching, adventuring, and conformity dodging. “Wherever I am in life, the core values of being a cheap, lowdown tumbleweed are probably going to prevail.”

dreamlike backwoods imagery.
Sunday Express
haunted, western-rich folk.
The Onion
a master of melancholy, his smoky voice haunting each front-porch tale.

beautiful and breath-taking in equal measure.
The Evening Telegraph
gritty, rootsy, adventurous.

rustic semi-pop...[those] with a penchant for channeling gothic Americana in song will feel right at home
