About Me:
The band formed in the winter of 2003-2004 and began playing out regionally (New England) in the spring of 2004. Playing the melancholy songs of Philip Price, the band's characteristic sound is a combination of fragile and melancholy acoustic folk-pop, with vital male-female harmonies (Price and Reed), filled out with the distinctive edginess of Crommett's washy-watercolor electric guitar, Hower's tense drumming, and Akey's subtle bass.
Their debut album received high praise by the Washington Post, No Depression, The Utne Reader, the Boston Globe, and they have shared the stage with such notable artists as Lisa Germano, The Mountain Goats, Crowded House, Erin McKeown, Fountains of Wayne, Alejandro Escovedo, Rainer Maria, Martha Wainwright, Shawn Colvin among others. In the winter of 2005-2006 while touring extensively the band played Mountain Stage on NPR, and were featured on NPR's Weekend Edition and World Café, and XM Radio's Loft Sessions.
