Preorder your unique limited-edition Florida Box Player! Featuring songs of Florida by Captain Number 1 and I Have Read Other Books... You've never seen anything like it!

Captain Number 1 began as sounds echoing out of the everglades into abandoned farmhouses and trailer homes along the sides of state roads. Those songs slowly made their way through south Florida till they crawled inside a man. That man now lives in the foothills of Georgia and creates music with friends and travels to cities to play you those lonely songs born in the everglades. Songs about murders, about love, about angels and hydrogen balloons. Have glockenspiel will travel.

We are proud members of the Branch Collection.
