Death & Taxes

I love you.

About Me

When the mornings are quiet and cold, and when your life feels like one long, bleak, December; when the world has mocked you, starved you and beat your body sore; and your tears are bitter and they are shed "over the graves of deeds left undone"; when your heart is a cavern from which no echo returns no matter how loud someone screams down; your grief is the ocean and your joy, a grain of sand; when the very earth beneath your feet is the only thing that you can dig your hands in and be sure of, then you have loved and you have lost. You have tried and you have failed. You have come in last place and had a million doors slammed in your face. What then, can you depend on? From the ashes of bridges burned and from the world of shattered dreams rises Richmond's ambassadors of heartache. The sweet and low down sounds of DEATH & TAXES speak to the lonely and bring Southern comfort to the drunk, the weary and the lost. Their songs document travels through a familiar landscape, by a lonely train, that will eventually get you home. Four-part harmonies and sweet country appeal is presented to you by true belles of the ball. There are but two things in life that are certain: DEATH & TAXES; and you must make time for both.
