We had the pleasure of booking them twice when we hosted our concert series, and we&#8217;ve kept in touch along the way. (<a href=\"http:\/\/music.calpoly.edu\/faculty\/albanese.html\" target=\"_blank\">Brynn Albanese<\/a>, their rock star violin player, even played on two songs on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/music#starlite\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Starlite Drive-In Saturday Night&#8221; <\/a>record a few years back.) They have a totally unique sound &#8211; bouncing effortlessly between genres, with an occasional return to backing the songwriter in group &#8211; and the fun they have onstage (and even on record) easily flows to their audiences.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ebb-and-flow.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-6443\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ebb-and-flow-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"ebb and flow\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>With a new record, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafemusique.org\/#!music\/c1x9v\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Ebb and Flow&#8221;<\/a>, AND a record label and a booking agent now attached to the outfit, I figured it was time to catch up, talk shop, and help show off a few tunes from their newest release.
