    Double Americana: Oh Shenandoah

    It's the middle of December and the days are short and cold even in California. Every night we've heard the gentle whirring of a giant fan in the orange grove behind Scott's parents' house, a sign that the temperature has dropped low enough that the air needs to be kept moving so that the oranges don't freeze. There are Christmas lights on houses and obligatory Christmas concerts, poinsettias and seasonal cookies. This is the time of year when you miss someone; the time of ye

    Double Americana

    In case you've missed all the hub-ub on our Facebook page recently, we're starting a new project. It's called "Double Americana," and will be a weekly FB Live session airing each Wednesday at noon EST where we can talk Americana and play you a folk song we've learned that week. Most of the time these will be traditional songs, but if one of our own tunes slips in there, well, that's just the way folk songs get passed around. We've had this idea in the works for a while, from

    Teeny Tiny Folk Band

    "From the desk of the self-appointed tiny folk band fan club president (Alabama chapter) I am listening to the new CD for the first time as I type this. Because you care, I thought I would share my thoughts... "Teeny Tiny Traveling Folk Band = my personal anthem of 2017. It will take some more listens to learn all the words. Liked it when you performed it at your gig back in November." --Larry Jelley, Self-Appointed Tiny Folk Band Fan Club President (Alabama Chapter) In The R

    "From the desk of the self-appointed tiny folk band fan club president (Alabama chapter) I am listening to the new CD for the first time as I type this. Because you care, I thought I would share my thoughts... Love Bus. Just a hard drivin country sound to it." --Larry Jelley, Self-Appointed Tiny Folk Band Fan Club President (Alabama Chapter) Mallory was experimenting with her pink ukulele again. Amazingly, that's literal. Anyone who had the slightest brush with The Rough & T

    It's Alright

    "From the desk of the self-appointed tiny folk band fan club president (Alabama chapter)...I am listening to the new CD for the first time as I type this. Because you care, I thought I would share my thoughts... "{It's} Alright sounds really nice. Vocals sound really clean compared to original. Great performance as usual." --Larry Jelley, Self-Appointed Tiny Folk Band Fan Club President (Alabama Chapter) "I love your song, "It's Alright." I can hear this song on a segment of

    The Rumbly Tummy: Mallory's Not-So-Secret-Anymore-Chili

    That's the thing about secret recipes. As much delight as one person can get from being the only one to provide a very special treat, there's a cap. And when the delight expires, it's time to post a blog revealing the not-very-special-reasons why this particular recipe has been a secret. Because food, much like secrets, are always better when shared. Truthfully, Mallory has been making this chili for years, and only recently decided it a secret on account of the fact that

    Wildfire

    It will come as no surprise to almost anyone that we as a teeny tiny traveling folk band are the bleeding heart liberal type. It comes with the territory, really. What kind of folk singers would we be if we weren't? Now, that not-so-shocking confession should be followed with this: we don't talk politics much. Sure, we make hilarious current event jokes from the stage. Yeah, you give us a glass or two of bourbon and we can certainly find a soap box somewhere. But in gen

    The Kindness of Strangers: Goodrich Ave.

    It's 90 degrees in St. Paul, MN, and the report says it feels like 98. And it's rising. And we live in a metal box, shining like an exploding star rushing toward Earth to crush us with fire. S'okay! We aren't going to die. We are charging our spare fan battery at a coffeeshop, now. And also, we have new friends. We are the street cats of Goodrich Avenue, these days. Here in this fine off-street of St. Paul you will find magical mysteries like tiny garden gnomes and Litt
