"More Shallot Than Onion"

About Me

Two New York songwriters, originally in cult band The Wind. They have retired from the road and now don elves hats when they make their masterful home-brewed creations. They have been called eclectic, brilliant, and hard to pin down. They can go from brit-pop to LA-pop to Brill-pop all in one swell foop. The song's the thing. It's all they care about. They even sometimes forget to take out the trash. ..
