This band fuses the poles of music. Old time is fused with psych and laughter. Their motto is "westward & wayward," and they mean it. realeditorbest profile toolsrealeditorbest profile tools

Really great sound y'all have put together. You prove your musicianship with the effortless changes of tempo and texture. It's catchy and off-beat. Good pickin' all around. Jew-harp flavored attitude.

Dig it.
