2018 - With Cahalen Morrison, Ethan Lawton and Jim Miller (former lead guitarist with Donna The Buffalo) all taking lead vocals, writing the songs (each providing four of the 12 tracks) and switching between instruments, Songs from the Deluge harmonizes three distinct songwriting voices into a sound that pulls from the great expanse of American music: Delta blues, Appalachian string band music, Texas fiddle traditions, cowboy songs. This record will levitate heavy hearts, turn spilled beer into ballads, and reclaim the multifaceted roots of country.
