Birthed from the folk tales of small town infidelities doused in the blues of the red state, religious atmosphere of the Hoosier State, This Story orchestrates tall tale hymnals spoken with a gravelly voice and a choir of ecletic, changing instrumentation. Travelin' through the crossroads of thus far only the United States of America in an all black short bus, This Story hopes to run off at the mouth with the stories of our time here and the lives of each and every individual we encounter in the evenings of our life time.
