about

While we were touring upstate New York in early 2014, we stopped in Beacon, NY at our friend's music store to buy banjo strings on our only day off. After pulling up to Jake Bernz' Main St. Music it was only a matter of minutes before an impromptu concert was arranged.

We took to email and social media and within an hour and a half put on a concert to a packed little music store, probably 30-40 people. We had the wherewithal to start a little field recorder and without even planning it, recorded a live album we're very proud of.

We are completely unplugged, the only mic being the one on our digital HD recorder. We feel this truly represents our sound in the highest fidelity, with no equipment between our instruments and voices and the listeners' ears.

We are offering this 19 track, 80 minute album up for FREE download because we, as passionate artists, struggle to make money and know how hard it is in this day and age. We believe art should be as free as possible. We hope that those of you who can afford to donate to our band will pay what they can when downloading, but it's up to you! Name your own price, and don't be ashamed if you can't afford it. At the end of the day WE WANT YOU TO HAVE OUR MUSIC.

You'll hear songs old and new from our original canon, as well as favorite traditionals with a few special guests.

Love,
Thomas Wesley Stern
