Steel in my Blood

A couple of weeks ago, we introduced you to Great Uncle Bob, my (Mallory's) maternal grandfather's brother. We told you a little bit of his life, and then about the car accident he and his wife Joanne were in, and the two caskets that rest in Alabama because of it. We also alluded to some family secrets he told us before the accident. Unfortunately for you, our lips are still sealed on those ones. For now. But here are some things we learned that aren't so secret while we

Wildfire (The Ashes on Record)

There's a trick to being a band who writes timely, socially aware music; we're just not exactly sure how the trick works. You keep yourself open to the world. You react. You jerk your knee back and you respond to the news- sometimes appropriately, sometimes in ways you don't intend, sometimes in ways your don't realize- and in that way writing timely, socially aware music is a lot like engaging in an argument online.

There will be a couple missing in this series, as we've already covered "Baggage" (boy have we!) with an accompanying music video. As have we with "Tiny Moses," and "Tak

We Made Ourselves a Home When We Didn't Know

Happy new album day! We Made Ourselves a Home When We Didn't Know is now out in the world, walking around on it's own two legs, meeting new people, living its life. And we're thrilled for you to hear it. This 13 song album, maybe more than any other, has been the album that we've been wanting to release for a while. Many of these songs were written before we packed it all into the camper, quite a few were written on the road---literally as we were driving---and a couple more

From the Middle of It All

We got a little carried away. What with all this Wednesdays at noon livecast Double Americana nonsense, and all this Rumbly Tummy food blog every first Wednesday silliness. We forgot, with all these self imposed deadlines and goals and new projects and release dates and what's nexts, to stop, look around, see where we are, and say "Hello." Hello! We are in the middle of it all. A little past the middle of the year, sitting in the middle of Wisconsin in the middle of the co
