Original storytelling music drawing from Civil War songs, coal-mining melodies, tunes of love and loss and haunting murder ballads from the American South.

The group seeks to take listeners on a musical journey to some of the darkest hollows of Americas greatest historical calamities and personal tragedies, from the battlefields of the Civil War and deepest Kentucky coal mines to the whaling grounds of the North Atlantic.
