About Me

Following the dissolution of the infamous Royal Mountain Band into so many beautiful yellow flowers, Jeff Louch and Tavis Triance have joined up with the indomitable Jason Kent and the jug-band virtuosity of the Cowan brothers rhythm factory to continue crafting the finest in woodsy soul. An ongoing visit to Vancouver has recently come to bring Horkenheimer, Wood and Young into the fold

Three and four part harmonies, thick slabs of Hammond organ, and an insistent licking at the guitar, all belted together by the far off tinkle of piano and wail of harmonica.

Nods to The Band, doom trilogy era Neil Young and all that is dirt road and tall pines. Come watch it all explode like fisticuffs under a drunken orange moon.
