Sounds Like: "The Reality of Today vs. Hope for Tomorrow" - I beleive we could start a movement based on this philosophy. Every song seeks a commonplace to bring peace to the troubled, clarity to the confused, and mercy to the judgemental. The lyrics are challenging but sincere, and the music is beautiful and different, yet catchy and familiar. I've been writing for longer than I care to remember, Jamie and I have been performing for 5 years, and Emily brings harmony to table that will cut through to your soul. The instrumentation is that of a normal coffee shop trio, but the approach is nothing of the sort. It's Rock in Acoustic Clothing. It's Folk music that doesn't tell a story, but instead asks for yours. It's Emo minus the severe depression. It's something you've never heard before, but has you singing by the second chorus and it's so processed, that it feels organic again. We've found ourselves in churches and in bars and blessed to be widely accepted by both. In Closing, welcome the sunset on your darker days, as Tomorrow will certainly come to your rescue. Hope is always an option.
