Requiem - Abe Classical Guitar
We originally recorded this for a video soundtrack and then filed it away in the land where audios go to be forgotten and found again. I will forever love it when Abe plays his classical guitar. I love all the sounds of his guitars but this one for me is a favorite, like truffles coated in pecans served on a steel plate. I love his tones!
Audio Download: We are Young by Fun
Peep the kids when they were young in this video. We loved recording our version of this super Fun song, heehee! Using only a stapler, a mint tin, a hat and jug of water Abe made the percussion and bass tracks. We had a blast recording this song! A household favorite for sure!https://youtu.be/o2Vu1l7e5bU

Audio Download: PERMANENT HOLIDAY BY MIKE LOVE
Here's our version of Mike Love's "Permanent Holiday" We recorded this somewhere around 2015 ish. Can't really remember. But it was certainly a fun cover to learn and we had fun making the music video. Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you all get a good Holiday /Vacation/Rest this year! We hope hope you get to binge watch your favorite shows and read your favorite books this Holiday. Whatever it is you do for enjoyment, we hope you get lots of opportunities for Joy! Best wishes and Kind Regards!
A Merry Message
Happy Holidays to you all out there, however you celebrate, there's always a reason for the season and in the case of December there are multiple reasons to celebrate every year! We get into it, the colorful lights carry us through the bitter exhausting cold and into the New Year full of hope and excitement for the days to come! Growth years are important and so are rest years. As we leave the year of the METAL OX and move into the year of the WATER TIGER it's fitting that we take time to heal, rest and reflect. It's the year for po...

The Day Abe Almost Lost an Eye
This day was a special day for Abe. He had recently been invited to our now favorite Social Media Apps "Spur and TikTok" and he was sharing our music with our new friends when Izzy told him he should wear these awesome steampunk goggles in his video. Of course he said yes. It was winter and the icicles were long and thick. I had meant to knock them down a while ago. Abe walked into the old well house and as he did an icicle fell directly towards his eye and shattered the lense in these $5 drugstore halloween costume goggles. Yes the len...

A classic. We recorded this years ago on garage band. Good times! Limited options but it was free so what the heck!

Audio Download: Mountain Kicks by Garrett Pearson
Another Masterpiece by Garrett Pearson. Check out the music videos on our Youtube Filmed by Garrett and Marcus Newell. Real footage of the Mountains where we Kick! And for those who are curious, when Garrett was filming the footage he was doing good deeds and stuff to make the world a better place, up in the mountains with a crew of other people effecting positive change in the world as well. When Marcus was filming his footage he was working on the mountain saving lives and whatnot. Yeah we're proud of these two. Angels unaware, masqueradi...

Audio Download: EVERYTHING
"Everything" is a song and tribute to everyone who couldn't stay with us. It features our good friend Joshua "Butters" Hendren and all the gifts he left behind for us to cherish. He loved his friends unconditionally and so everyone loved him. He left behind a legacy of people who loved him, including us. I think the thing I loved most about Butters is how he shared all sides of himself, the good, bad and everything between and he accepted those things about his friends too. I never had to smile or try to be his friend, he wa...
Audio Download: GREENSLEEVES
We recorded this while heavily into the Tudors Series. And even though the famous Henry viii probably didn't actually write this song, but rather commissioned it, it's a good story and we've loved this classic since we first heard it as kids.
Lost in Translation
Why do we always look sleep deprived, confused and hungover? I remember taking this picture, I was so incredibly tired. We had waited all day for an appropriate moment to make a video. The moment Boy went to sleep. By the time we hit record I was running on the last tiny bit of fuel I could wring from my exhausted mind and body. Abe and I argued over trivial things before taking these snapshots. You can tell I'm tired and confused as Abe tries to explain the finer details of his plan. We agreed and went for it. I look back at this photo and...
Audio Download: Bankman
"The Bankman" originally came from our junk album "Squid" A garage recording featuring Abe, Marcus and I on an all acoustic set and one microphone. Good times we had but I wouldn't go back for any of it. Our friendship now after 11 years of getting to know one another is more rewarding than any of us could have expected or hoped for. We've laughed, argued, misunderstood, sang loud, yelled loud, cried, healed and built our relationships better and stronger. We were thrown together in a last minute flurry 11 years ago and ...

Mama to All
Morgan is a Mother to all here. Everyone is constantly seeking her attention and looking for the kind of love only a mother could give. The cats are no exception! Here's our Sconemah the youngest kitty fur-baby requesting her weekly deep tissue petting from Morgan while taking pictures for a blog article. Check the real authentic dirt and nootsie (small injury) on Morgan's left foot. Straight from the field into heels. She's the real deal everyone. Morgan is a force to be reckoned with. Her expression for empathy is deep and complex...
Audio Download: LIVE LIKE A WARRIOR by Matisyahu
Love everything about this song! We've been living this way for over a decade now and it has challenges and rewards. It was a leap and a terrifying one but now that we are here where we are in space and time we know we couldn't have done it any other way. It's been a along journey that will never end.
Audio Download: Coyote Shoes by Garrett Pearson
We love love love this song written by our good buddy Garrett Pearson! We're so stoked that he included us and let us add this song to our latest album Ballads and Heartstrings. He jumped in and we're never letting go. Garrett is an incredible songwriter and friend. He's been there to help us whenever we call and writes great songs by the dozen. He is a truth storyteller and gifted musician. He's got an iconic sound that plays in our heads long after the song ends. He is highly talented and highly critical of himself. All good a...
Audio Download: Miracle by Matisyahu
Honestly Hannukkah is over but I'll be listening to these songs for days to come still! Love this song. Abe first introduced me to Matisyahu in 2010 and it's been an enduring love for both of us for sure. Here's a raw audio that has us taking a couple go's at this one and then suddenly gets cut off. Lol!
Time to Focus!
Everyday Abe. This guy works for a Non-Profit Organization, he sweeps and installs chimneys and he's the Sustainable Arborist. Every moment of the week is filled with something to do. This picture is of Abe just before making the final cuts on an old tree that died and was a danger to the family living beneath it. Trees have always been a passion for Abe. He loved climbing trees as a kid and still gets his thrills by shimmying up widow makers and gently removing each piece limb by limb. He hates a "Crop Top" and so do the trees. We ...
Audio Download: Giant Squid
Giant Squid has been the most fun song to progress through our music factory over the years. We didn't add the bridge till the final master and it was sprinkled with inspiration of our 2 favorite seaman songs "Whaler's Tale and "Chicken on a Raft" We also watched with the world as the squids became officially considered sentient by us hoomans and the giant squid first emerged into our plain of existence, flashing its graces of epic glory across our lenses. Abe performed with equal amplitude on this one in my opinion. He'...
Audio Download: Dated TV
Dated TV was written around 2011 and this is actually the second recording that has made it to one of our albums. The original was on our album "The Thickwood Bramble" featuring a whole band of fantastic musicians. We decided early in 2019 to re record the song using it's original composition instrument which is Abe's Dad Ed Rosenberg's old Bazooki. This Bazouki was originally gifted to a friend of Ed's who then gifted it back to Abe after his dad passed away. This song this time around was really all about Abe. He's...
Audio Download: Ricky
Honestly what else can I say about this song that hasn't already been said. It was awkward breaking the news that I've written a song about a living person without any permissions whatsoever. I felt wild and daring like a Basquiat of musicians and also terrified of the consequences. I've had several Ricky's in my life. The original I met on the first day of Kindergarten. We played on the merry go round one recess and from that point on throughout school, he would appear at different times to randomly defend myself or others. It&...
Slow Music Movement
This picture pretty much sums up life with a toddler soon to be little kid. Every moment precious and also angst occupies the moments of betweenness when we wait for that moment when we can race to the finish creating and producing our next two albums…simultaneously as it turns out. “Work the Whole Painting” as my favorite art professor would say. And so we build mountains when we set out to climb a mole hill. Casual has never been our mode of creating. But we are in an industry where pushing out multiple albums per year is the industry n...

Taking Time
It’s been a long and stressful, strenuous & strengthening year. We peaced out early in the year following the loss of several loved ones near and far. We’ve seen more terror than we knew our hearts and eyes could hold and also been awakened to so many new realities and friends on our journey. If we’ve been quiet it has been to heal and during our healing the losses continued and added onto themselves. Maybe they were lonely. We have quietly been moving through recording our kids album in between tears and continue to push to finish recor...
