The trio recorded their folk-pop (some country blues as well) album at "Flowers Studio" in uptown Mpls, with the talented Peter Anderson (summer-fall 2007).
The three piece is comprised of: Joel Roberts-(singer and song writer extraordinaire, picks a mean guitar), Inga Roberts- songwriter, with her organic vocals and mix of classical/ragtime piano.... and of course the infamous Leah Nelson- holds the group together with the forthright tambourine beats and her melodious vocal range! Peter Anderson, complimented the album with drums on a handfull of the featured songs.
The group currently resides in Minneapolis, MN...to be continued
