We are actively working recording new songs for (hopefully) a Spring 2025 album release.

Looking forward, we’ve got dates starting to roll in for the new year, including a return of our Annual Holiday Show at the Steak Loft in Mystic on Friday, Jan. 3 (cool!) All of our upcoming show info can be found here.

“I can’t keep time from running out, I can’t keep it slipping away…” Summer’s gone, but the last chords are still ringing out. Ben and Nancy enjoyed a return to their acoustic roots this season, playing a series of duo/trio dates at some new and familiar haunts. Now they will return to the studio to continue work on a long-dreamed-of acoustic-based, vocal-oriented album. More to come… sign-up for our mailing list or follow us on the socials for all the latest and greatest! Cheers, see you soon… Ben & Nancy

We’re out “empty nesting and hell-raising” this month! All weekends accounted for…. get the deets here!

Introducing ‘Figures of Speech’: A parable of sorts, a new folk song or a memento mori for our times, inspired by the late, great John Prine. Look for the single on all streaming services in the next few weeks. Filmed on location at Tox Brewery, New London, CT by our good friend Steve Elci. Cheers!
