Ribbons Of Song

About Me

We've just wrapped recording a new full-length album with Dustin Anderson. We invited many friends to add voices, horns, strings, computers, and percussion. It's taking shape, but we don't know exactly what kind of shape it is yet. It's being mixed on the East Coast! Keep coming back! We can't wait to listen to it with you...
