Combining a unique mix of guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, accordion, percussion, and weaving vocals, StitchCraft is where folk meets its deviant stylistic counterparts and produces a brand new sound. StitchCraft plays a dynamic and versatile array of music from lyrical ballads to driving and powerful anthems, lively get-on-your-feet dance songs, to genre-bending, world-music-inspired acid-folk. Their music mixes rich harmonic arrangements, thoughtful lyrics, and undercurrents of uniquely woven rhythms to produce delicate, yet vivid, melodic textures.
These musicians are charting new territory and turning heads as they take their eclectic sounds and rhythms to new levels. Through their lulling songstress counterpoint and captivating parables, their colorful poetry pulls in a wide range of audiences and reveals the connections they spark in each other on stage.
Stitchcraft is currently working on their second full length album, so stay tuned for upcoming details! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for the great gig on Thursday, you were enchanting. I came to see a pearl and found it set in diamonds. Have fun in the park today, and hopefully I'll see you around the Bay soon.
Hey Anna- I'm playing at El Rincon this Saturday. The band is, Please Do Not Fight. Hope to see you there! otherwise I'm sure I'll see you at Coffee To The People.
hey there, i'm putting together a compilation cd of artists i like and i want to give it away at shows... i was wondering if you'd like to contribute an unreleased song (not on an album, myspace ok)? let me know.
i wish i could make it, but my good friend is having a housewarming party that night. but keep me posted, i don't always check your myspace often enough to catch when you are playing.
Is there any chance for you to come to France? We'd love to see you live... Come for an improvised tour over Europe. In countries like Spain and Italy, you could make a decent living simply busking. But you may already know that! Keep on doing this excellent music! Shalom
Last night's show blew my mind! You guys are so fabulously vibrant and tight and alive and loose at the same time. So happy I hitched a ride out with Eah and got to enjoy it and meet you in the flesh! If you'd ever like to play with us, please let me know and I'll be happy to organize! xox Heather
