This trio from Chapel Hill not only craft great songs, but they make for excellent company and didn’t complain at all when I pointed thousand degree lights in their faces. Oddly, Will Dawson didn’t sweat at all and I’ve been informed by my more conspiratorial friends that that is a sign of a xenoform taking human form. Not sure about all that.
Dustin, the drummer, has played in numerous bands and spent a brief period of time with Greensboro’s Otis Reem back in the day, and Will Dawson played an entire host of different instruments on the most recent tour of the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Owen and Dustin play together in a band called, “JokesandJokesandJokes,” and Will also plays with another duo called, “Lucky,” with Katherine Whalen.

“Anachronistic musical tracks that sound like a cross between Latin,sampled jazz, and the Motown Remixed series paired with Whalen’s hot vox make for intriguing, and highly welcome, bedfellows.”
