New Release - "Embers" (NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2020)

We just submitted “Embers” for the NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2020. As you’ll see, it’s not a typical video, nor is it about a typical topic.

We wrote this song about the California wildfires in the fall of 2019 and the resulting smoke and power outages that blanketed much of the state. "Embers" is our attempt to grapple with the strange realities - N95 masks, shuttered windows, evacuation zones - that those fires made commonplace almost overnight. Little did we know that life during the coronavirus pandemic would have such bizarre similarities to wildfire season.

We wanted to take a moment to celebrate the release of our good friend Eric Long’s first full band album, “Looking Up.” We've had the pleasure of sharing shows and great memories over the past couple of years with Eric - he's a consummate songwriter, an ever-curious traveler, and a proud owner of a heart of gold.

Also, did you know both Dave & Thom moonlight as members of his band The Short Tempers? ‘Tis True. Out now on all streaming platforms, here’s a bit from Eric’s website about “Looking Up.”

We’re still in awe that we’ve managed to pull off a THIRD annual Every Folk camp, and we’re all still floating in the clouds a bit after such an amazing weekend. Each year, the Every Folk experience gets richer, and as the camp hosts, we are more and more amazed by the connections and experiences the campers bring to our extended weekend of folk music and skills. We are so grateful to every single person that joined us this year - for all of camp, or even just for Saturday’s Potluck Square Dance.

New Release - "Feeling Again" Live Music Video

Recorded live in our own backyard this spring, here is our video for “Feeling Again,” filmed by our dear friend Michael Cuffe - thank you a million times over for your keen eye, steady hand, and deep well of patience!

While many of our songs are about love or nature, this one draws its inspiration from a different place. “Feeling Again” was written as a reminder to pause and take a breathe amid the hustle, to see past the day-to-day hurry and…
