New Album!

Purchase now on CDBaby, or digitally at bandcamp.com

Our new album, Haymaker, is a 2-disc set, containing 22 tracks, 84 minutes of music, and features legendary drummer and bodhrán player Josh Dukes, as well as two tracks with our good friends The Murphy Beds (Eamon O'Leary and Jefferson Hamer). Each of the discs is a cohesive listening experience and can be enjoyed on its own, or in conjunction with the other.

Tracking for Haymaker was completed over the course of one week, in January 2014, and the album includes every piece that we recorded over that week. The album was recorded by Grammy Award-winning engineer Glenn Barratt at Morning Star Studios in Pennsylvania, with the help of co-engineer and co-producer Sean Keegan.
