"The Pace Of Our Feet" - Release July 12th - The Rymer Art Gallery
The Pace Of Our Feet is the fruition of an accidental idea—an unexpectedly large fish smiling back through an aimlessly cast net. An idea one would be pretentious to proclaim as unique, yet equally unwise to ignore: the idea of communicating inspiration through multiple mediums. The Pace Of Our Feet combines visual art and literature with music in an attempt to capture both the eyes and the ears.
The songwriters of “Quote,” Jamie Bennett and Justin Tam, set out to tell a few tales, some tall, some true. Each narrative began simply, with a tune and a lyric. The sweltering summer of 2007 produced recordings of these songs with the aid of Nashville’s finely tuned ears and Ireland’s strings. “Quote” then recruited the trusted pens and brushes of authors and visual artists to translate their sound into ink and paint.
After a year of patient prodding and pushing, fussing and fuming, “quote” has managed to finish The Pace Of Our Feet. So find the nearest tree or closest riverbank, stop your watch for a while, and cast an open net.
Press:
"...Nashville duo "quote" have contributed a sleeper classic to the folk/sing-songwriter canon. Not only do the pair spin engaging narratives, but producer Mike Odmark weaves exquisite mixes around them. Intimate yet spacious, the songs exist as freestanding milieus for the moods and characters residing within. While harmonies boom, other instruments creak, other instruments creak, shimmy and groan in the background. Fittingly, The Pace Of Our Feet comes with accompanying artwork, (prose), and poetry."
- The Nashville Scene
"Now these gentlemen have a fine way with words. 'Standing on the Ocean' (is) just the kind of song that the Eagles wish they could write nowadays."
- Blues Bunny
"...a stunning production, intriguing songwriting, and a breath of fresh air from this Nashville group."
- Matt Morelock - WDVX - The Blue Plate Special

Wish I could be there on the 12th for your book release, but I have a show in Knoxville! Looking forward to it though! Hope you two are doing well & hope to see you again soon!
You should totally add Italian Wine to myspace so I can put it on my profile page. What was the name of the song that was about when you guys first moved to the south? I loved that one too!!
Hey! Work is going alright. The month of May is VERY slow so I'll be having many days off...Not too thrilled about it. I don't start school again till the Fall but I can't wait. I signed up for the COOLEST classes.
well boys, remember that porch show you promised me? now is as good a time as any since i'm moving back to florida monday. :( it would have tickled me pink. you'll just have to make it up someday. :)
no, you didn't meet me on the road. Actually my younger brother saw you guys at the fire in philly, i think it was the fire anyway, but he told me to check your music out, i like your sound :)
yes he definitely is...and yes i did. i think of myself more as an indentured servant and less like an alumna though. i was completely mesmerized at the show...your music is amazing!
