About Me

you didn't hear us come in... campfire torchsongs and new spirituals... left them here... ............................................................ ................................................ "The sound of the thimbles began last year, quite new yet oddly familiar. Both the lonesome cry of the Appalachians and the old soul of the British Isles are heard. A sound from pure song that binds the anthem to the farmer's plough. There's a gravity here that seems to appear out of nowhere; just two guitars and two voices make a symphony, a humble point - that echoes through the valleys." ............................................................ .................................................the thimbles debut, recorded in Nashville, is now released. ............................................................ ................................................. ............................................................ .................................................
