Which is available everywhere now, including Bandcamp. This new album by songwriters Zach White & Caleb Christopher Edwards is a warm hug and hearty laugh we all need in our lives. A collection of original songs that evoke a sense of Bluegrass-Nouveau. Familiar forms and instrumental sounds are subtly articulated with unique techniques that evoke both a creative take on the bluegrass playbook and an easy-to-repeat relaxing experience. Recorded entirely live in the room you can feel the comradery filling the space. Whether it’s Zach’s creative stories of rich characters like Buddha From Muscoutah or Billy’s Horse, or Caleb’s wistful mind paintings in All I Do is Hum or Waltz for Sarah’s Wedding you just want to sit for a spell, light a pipe and drift away. Zach White and Caleb Christopher Edwards have been long friends and frequent collaborators. Between the two of them, you might have seen them onstage at the Grand Ole Opry, Carnegie Hall, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, or the Ryman (just to name a few). Buckle up for a rip roaring night of bluegrass, story telling, and two friends being goofballs. Keep up with Caleb at his website HERE and with Zach at his website HERE.
