Diet Folk

We’re in the studio this month recording our second album. We’ve got a lot of ideas to get down on record, with horns, organs, pedal steel and orchestration. We’ll be posting snippets here when we can!

We made a “best-of” blog from our Duluth Homegrown 2012 show. Hundreds of bands played, and we’re honored to be included in the top. You can read the blog here:
